Jasper Martin: Listen Then Repeat took about three years
Jasper Martin wrote the first draft in 2022; production followed ‘about three years’ later and key reshoots came ‘over a year later’. Practical timing for short-film makers.

Martin also revisited material after initial post‑production, explaining he "reshot them over a year later" when prologue and epilogue proved unclear on screen. Those two timing figures — the about three years gestation from draft to principal photography and the subsequent reshoots more than a year on — are the only concrete schedule numbers he supplies.
