The concept of a person repeating the same time period over and over until they get it right is probably most associated with GROUNDHOG DAY, but Heap's Oscar-nominated short (based on a 1973 short story by Richard Lupoff) considers the idea in the guise of a character drama, with ROBOCOP's Kurtwood Smith as a mild-mannered man who finds himself stuck in a loop. It was remade as a made-for-TV thriller by FOX a few years later, but this is the sort of high-concept, low-budget science fiction short films are made for.
