Time Code

A black comedy thriller set against Los Angeles lifestyles -- literally unfolded before the cameras as the actors each forged an improvised trajectory for their characters based on the central elements of an affair, a murder and an ensuing Hollywood mystery.

Stellan Skarsgård is a motion picture executive; Saffron Burrows is his wife; Salma Hayek is an aspiring actress in the midst of an affair; and Jeanne Tripplehorn is a woman whose actions will alter all their fates.

The film was shot in one day entirely with hand-held digital video cameras in sequence, in real time with no editing.
