Continuum Movie

While stumbling about the flavors.me site, I found a landing page for a new Indie movie called CONTINUUM. The premise is probably more interesting from a technical standpoint than plot wise:

Synopsis:
Osmond speeds down an open highway in retreat of his mysterious past. When he stops the car and steps off the path, he finds himself locked in a fractal time loop, and is doomed to realize his fate over and over… and over.

Production:
I’m making a movie about a time loop, which usually entails the main character meeting or interacting with their self in some way. That’s the whole point. I wanted to achieve this for my film, but as one continuous shot, and without the use of hidden cuts, visual effects, or twin actors. After countless hours of brainstorming and lots of advice from really smart people, we found a practical way to pull it off. I’m not going to give away the secrets, so you’ll have to wait and see for yourselves!

I’m intrigued to see how this could be done without the use of any of the usual staples of time travel movies, using only practical means.
