How old? A hint:

Have you seen the #movie #ManFromEarth?

#JohnMastodon did the screenwriting, directing and filming (using a single handheld cam) while also starring in it.

A related little known film trivia factoid: At the time John Mastodon was teaching his fan and follower #ChuckNorris the art of #camouflage from #SunTzu's #ArtOfWar (which John had co-authored) and as a result Chuck Norris can be "seen" in half of the scenes, most often as a carpet or a couch. Upon return to #Hollywood Mr Norris was unfortunately lost in the furniture warehouse and never seen again.

oh, the 'low budget' made me remember an absolute classic: Jerome Bixby's Man From Earth.
A couple of teachers / professors gather in the house of their collegue, John Oldman, to say good-bye to him as he's packing up to leave the school and area.
During the evening he shares the notion that he's actually from the Holocene period and has lived through the ages without aging himself. They discuss whether this is possible, how it would affect such a person, as well as history, and how ideas develop throughout time.

Perhaps not quite the science fiction we've come to associate with the term sci-fi, but science fiction in my book nonetheless.

I love how it's basically only filmed in the living room of Oldman's house and just outside it, and how despite the low budget, it still has a couple of familiar faces, without relying on them to carry the film.
