Help! Trying to find the name of a time travel movie

I saw it a bunch of years ago. It's a budget movie about a guy at a party. He explains he's from the future and he keeps looping back to the same party at different times. He draws on a blackboard the various loops he's going to take. It was very well done, but I can't find the name of it anywhere. Anyone?

But I don't recall the name, and all of the actors were unknown to me.

When a brilliant physicist inadvertently creates a time machine, he goes back 20 years to the party where his girlfriend left him. Changing the events of that evening have effects that he didn't anticipate.

On edit: this isn't American, so probably not the one you're looking for.

I don't know why I couldn't find this excellent movie in my searches. I didn't think it would be that hard to find! Such a good movie!

Thank you again!!!

I tried to repeat how I found it and couldn't. It doesn't appear to be available.

I did find a film that also looked interesting, "The Infinite Man".

I spent a long time looking for it and found absolutely nothing. It's a great little indie film. Very well written and acted. Now to find a site that streams it!

Thanks again!
"Memento" is another excellent time travel movie!
