Searching for time-travel movie set in New Zealand

Science Fiction & Fantasy Asked by user2024044 on September 21, 2020

I think it’s set in Wellington, and the actual travel happens by stepping through a kind of wall — in one time, in a garage; in another time (I think maybe early 1900’s) it’s a wall at the back of an alley. And there’s a third time as well.

It’s a kind of detective story as well: someone gets murdered?

Any ideas?

This movie is "Event 16", released in 2006 and set in Wellington, New Zealand. It is written and directed by Derek Pearson.

The plot involves the MC creating a time machine in his garage and travelling back to a "stylish vision of Victorian Wellington."

The official website hasn't had any content for some time:

Below are a couple of synopses that I found, and their respective sources:

Masterminded by director and fx whizz Derek Pearson, Event 16 is a brain-teaser spanning three eras. After neglecting his girlfriend (Jocelyn Christian) while struggling to perfect time travel, inventor Matt (Peter Rutherford) inadvertently puts her in danger when a colonial-era killer arrives in modern-day Wellington. Ambitiously plotted, with a plethora of double identities, Event 16 demonstrates how computers have opened new imaginative vistas for the low budget filmmaker — notably in the film's stylish vision of Victorian Wellington.

Matt, a young inventor on the cusp of a breakthrough creation in his garage workshop, is about to lose his girlfriend due to his obsession, when an 1893 cat strolls into the workshop through a wall that his invention created. Soon police, undercover agents and murderers are all hunting for Matt and his girlfriend in a race, not only against, but through time. An independent digital feature from another handful of super-talented Kiwis.
