“A Race Against Time” follows a scientist racing to stop a time-freeze she accidentally unleashed. With seconds left, she navigates a frozen world to save her city from total collapse.
A Race Against Time follows Dr. Lena Voss, a dedicated scientist whose breakthrough experiment goes terribly wrong, unleashing a swirling time-distortion inside her lab.
One moment, Lena is surrounded by alarms, debris, and machinery tearing itself apart — and the next, everything freezes. Papers hang in mid-air, sparks stop mid-burst, and the entire lab falls into a terrifying silence. Behind her, a glowing vortex blooms like a burning orange sun, growing larger by the second. Lena checks her wrist device and feels her stomach drop: the countdown is already ticking down. She has only moments before the freeze becomes permanent.
Despite the crushing stillness around her, Lena forces herself to move through the distortion field. Every step is like pushing through invisible pressure. Even as time collapses around her, her resolve doesn’t waver. She races between frozen machines, trying to fix the reactor before its energy spills beyond the lab.
The countdown on her wrist keeps flashing, reminding her how little time she has left. With every second, the vortex pulses harder, threatening to burst outward and swallow the entire city.
Lena works frantically — typing commands, pulling damaged cables, trying override after override — but each attempt only makes the distortion more unstable. Debris floats around her like trapped memories of a world that has stopped moving. She knows this is her last chance.
With only seconds remaining, Lena triggers one final emergency override.
A blinding white light engulfs everything.
Then, suddenly, we’re in the heart of a futuristic city. The enormous temporal sphere hangs briefly in the sky — flickering, unstable — before it dissolves into nothing. People continue their day completely unaware that disaster had hovered just above them.
Lena’s gamble paid off.
She saved the city, and she did it in the very last moments she had.

I created a complete AI-generated short film—from writing the story and script to generating every scene with AI tools. I refined prompts, built visuals, and assembled the final film entirely during the hackathon.
Not Applicable.
