Time Before Kevin

Set in the near future, Kevin, a young scientist haunted by his childhood memories, attempts to construct a time machine that brings him back to his past. After numerous setbacks, the machine springs to life! But to his surprise, the machine takes him to a realm saturated with pictures of his adolescence, where his memories had become toxic to the core of his true self. Kevin attempts to enter each memory, but cannot bare seeing his younger self burdened with the suppression of his true identity. With a new way to ensure and be the hero to his younger self, he is determined to change the story that had already been written.

Directed by Raine Gado, Time Before Kevin leans on a strong ensemble — Anton Nolasco, Prince Nathaniel España, Hailey Taguian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
