Open in HeraeAbout the film
Primer is a 2004 American independent science fiction film written, directed, produced, edited, and scored by Shane Carruth in his feature debut. The film stars Carruth and David Sullivan, and depicts the events surrounding the accidental discovery of time travel. Primer is noted for its extremely low budget, experimental plot structure, philosophical implications, and complex technical dialogue, which Carruth, a college graduate with a degree in mathematics and a former engineer, chose not to simplify for the sake of the audience. The film won the Grand Jury Prize Dramatic at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, before securing a limited release in the United States, and has since gained a cult following.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Primer on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
