Go behind the scenes of the MPI Original short The One-Minute Problem, written and directed by MPI filmmaker Nick Delgado, and see how the cast and crew brought this award-winning science fiction story to the screen.

Developed through MPI’s Short Film Lab and produced through the MPI Production Lab, The One-Minute Problem follows a young scientist on the verge of inventing teleportation. As he races to perfect his breakthrough and reunite with his family, he must outsmart an overzealous Department of Water and Power bureaucrat determined to shut down his project.

The film stars Goya Award nominee Gorka Otxoa (Pagafantas, Machos Alfa), Emmy-winning Downton Abbey actor Brendan Coyle, Marta Guerras (Las últimas de la fila), and Kwami Odoom, whose credits include Shakespeare’s Globe and the National Theatre.

The film has already screened at 10 festivals across the US, Europe, and Latin America, and received two Best Sci-Fi Film awards.
