At the one-minute mark of oxygen deprivation, your brain cells begin to die. Okay, that sounds a little dramatic. But I like to compare this scientific fact to how we are always on our laptops and phones constantly in search of mental stimuli. In this piece, we are sharing our newly discovered work break destination: Blink Twice Films. We can’t get enough of the intricate storytelling and the quality of their content. Their film making mantra is perfect for our modern attention span…
“If your life can change in a minute,
you can tell a story in a minute.”

Work Break 1: Thriller About Choices
CHAMBER
“YOU HAVE FIFTEEN SECONDS, ONLY ONE OF YOU CAN SURVIVE”
CHAMBER is the first release by Blink Twice Films. We got out of a mental block with this thriller. It also made us realize work is definitely NOT a matter of life or death… or is it?
Work Break 2: Sci-Fi of Possibilities
TOUCH
“THERE’S OVER SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ALL CAPABLE OF MAKING A CONNECTION”
These days, we see a lot of people “embracing their super-powers” on social media. TOUCH takes it to a whole new level. This fast paced visual stunner is about a woman who has the ability to see into the future. Our big question for you is what would you do if you had this gift?
Work Break 3: Dram-medy of Courage
INITIATION
“JUST DO IT, DON’T OVER THINK IT, JUST GO IN THERE AND DO IT”
Is it so easy to say one thing and actually go through with it? We tend to over think, which often paralyzes us. This film reminds us to have perspective on the outcome of our actions. This approach would simply make things so much simpler. INITIATION was the perfect hilarious work break we desperately needed on a really long, long day!
