Hotspring Joins Western Edge Pictures on Alice Lowe’s Timestalker

Hotspring is thrilled to have collaborated with Western Edge Pictures on their latest cinematic venture, Timestalker, written and directed by the brilliantly inventive Alice Lowe. Our team brought our expertise to a range of VFX tasks, including compositing, paint, tracking, and roto work, to help bring Lowe’s vision to life.

Set across different time periods, Timestalker offers a darkly comic and surreal journey through the ages, featuring Alice Lowe in multiple roles. In 1688, she plays Agnes, a Scottish maidservant infatuated with a rebellious preacher (Aneurin Barnard) who is facing execution. By 1793, she becomes a disenchanted noblewoman obsessed with a flamboyant highwayman, Alex O’Nine Ribbons (also Barnard). The narrative then jumps to 1980, where Lowe plays a British woman in New York, sporting a frizzy, retro hairstyle and stalking a pop star (Barnard yet again) with an unrelenting passion.

The film also includes brief but memorable vignettes—Lowe as a magician’s assistant in 1940, dressed in a Cleopatra costume, and as a Victorian schoolmarm in 1847 who meets a swift end by a carriage wheel. With its unique blend of dark humour, genre twists, and Lowe’s dynamic performances, Timestalker is a one-of-a-kind story that defies convention.

Hotspring is proud to have contributed to this creative journey, helping to blend the fantastical elements with the grounded emotions of Lowe’s characters through our meticulous VFX work.
