The year is 1995. Two college roommates, Dylan and Rob, are making a movie called "Crueler Than Truth" with a group of their friends in Colorado and Chicago. During the shoot Dylan stumbles upon Rob's diary and secretly begins to read it. His unsettling discoveries about who Rob really is, combined with his own hidden attraction towards him, gradually mesh with the "film within the film" to create a fragmented reality. Filmed in 16mm in 1995-1996, and recently completed after a successful Kickstarter campaign, "Pause of the Clock" is a living time capsule 20 years in the making.
