Bootstrapped

Bootstrapped is a short science fiction comedy built around a time travel paradox that plays out within a single minute. The premise centers on a traveler caught in a loop of cause and effect, staged as a brief comic set piece rather than a full-length narrative.

Joe Heath wrote, directed and produced the film through Minty Pineapple Entertainments, and also appears as the Time Traveler, making it a largely one-person production. The film was released on June 19, 2026, with a runtime of one minute, and it is set in the United States. Its blend of comedy and science fiction places it among the shorter, more experimental entries in Heath's filmography.
