  TWENTY DAYS: Preparing to Say "Action!" With Timeless on the horizon, the journey has been worth pursuing through many obstacles, proving with passion and strength, anything can happen.     Timeless has been nothing but a constant perseverance for the directors and producers as all the elements have to come together for it to work and run smoothly. The countdown has been going strong on the Instagram page @timelesstheshortfilm, starting at 15 weeks and 100 days, and now is at a little over 2 weeks and 20 days.       Throughout these months, a lot has happened. So much so, that these blogs have not been written in a while because priorities have been had.

  THE GAME PLAN : What's to come for Timeless  before July hits The creators of Timeless  have a lot to do on their hands before the summer      It is only February, and there is a mix of feelings as the year of filming Timeless  is upon us! Some days it feels like shooting is far away and there is still so much time to get all the things done, and other days it feels like we have no time at all! However, we trust that with the Lord on our side and our amazing team, it will all come together as it should.     Currently, February has been an exciting month of progress. Our GoFundMe is still up and donations have been made in the past two weeks, which is exciting! We still have a long way to go but even with every small contribution, hope rises.

  'To pursue something that's as hard as this...it all comes down to passion': JORDAN POPE SAYS IN CONVERSATION ABOUT HIS JOURNEY AS AN ACTOR Director Emma Sumlin recently sat down with Jordan Pope to discuss his upcoming role as Pearce Lauder in the short film Timeless. Tell me about yourself. What are the most important things that define you, that you would want people to know?       "Obviously, like, pursuing the dream. Like a lot of people, I have this moral and it's like, don't let fear dictate your life. And a lot of people will say, you know, 'The odds of you succeeding in this is extremely low? Why? Like, why not just have something to fall back on?' And I heard this Denzel Washington speech. As soon as I heard it, it kind of changed my whole thing that you don't wanna find something to fall back on, you just wanna find something to fall forward on. So you're not falling back. You're falling forward. And I'm like, wow. So that...
