Time Teens: The Beginning is a 2015 Scottish feature film directed by Ryan Alexander Dewar. It was originally written as a TV Series by writer/actor Ian Grieve around ten years earlier. When Ryan Alexander Dewar and Ian met in Perth Theatre where Ian was resident director, they pursued his TV scripts as a short film.[1]

Cast

Appearing in the film are:

Plot

Time travel Exists. William is a Tourasaiche, Pilgrim Time traveller, policing time crime. When he receives a letter from the future, he has to decide if his future will happen how it is written, or if things can be changed.[17]

Production

After filming for 4 days in 2013, the film was too long to be a short film and too short to be a feature. The short film soon turned into a full feature film with a plethora of Scottish cast coming on board and waived their fee on the production. Production took place in under 3 weeks over 2013 and 2014.<ref name=Courier "29April2015">Burdge, Richard (16 January 2015). "Hope new film drama will woo tourists to Perthshire and Angus". The Courier. Retrieved 2 May 2015.</ref> The release date was put back as Dewar and Grieve appealed for assistance to get the project finished.[18]

Release

The film premiered in February 2015 at the Perth Playhouse Cinema on an IMAX screen and was then shown there for the following week.[19]

It is scheduled for a May 2015 screening at the North By Midwest Micro-budget film festival in Michigan.[20]
