GROUNDHOG DAY

SHORTS AND TO THE POINT: Travis Bible’s time travel short, EXIT STRATEGY won $50,000 at the Louisiana Film Prize. And there are multiple good reasons for that.

Bible scores with EXIT STRATEGY by remembering two very key requirements that make that film or a film like GROUNDHOG DAY a classic and so many other films a nice try at best: He gives us characters to care about and one character in particular who grows during the course of his impossible journey.
