Prevenge

Synopsis

A pregnant woman takes revenge, embarking on a killing spree that is both vicious and funny. For ruthless Ruth, will motherhood lead to redemption, or destruction?
“I wanted to write something which defied that image of the pregnant woman as this safe, sweet, kind person… I felt like motherhood is a crazy, interesting experience and it’s rarely seen on screen." (Alice Lowe)
A dark British comedy from the mind of Alice Lowe, who writes, stars and directs, all whilst genuinely 8 months pregnant.

Timestalker Timestalker

Director: Alice Lowe

Year: 2024

From the creative team behind PREVENGE comes... TIMESTALKER, a romantic comedy about the eternal humiliation that is the search for love, spanning the most romantic epochs of history right into the future.<br /> TIMESTALKER follows hapless heroine Agnes (Alice Lowe) through time as she repeatedly falls for the wrong guy, dies a grim death, gets reincarnated a century later, before meeting him again and starting the cycle anew. It is one story told over many periods, all with the messy thrills and spills that come with daring to follow your heart. Or maybe your loins... <br /> Agnes’ only hope in avoiding this violent fate is by finally reaching spiritual enlightenment; but how can she ever wise up when she’s destined to be a fool for love? Some lessons are just too hard to learn in one lifetime.<br /> Official Selection SXSW (South by Southwest) Film Festival 2024 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection Locarno Film Festival 2024 - European premiere<br /> Official Selection Edinburgh International Film Festival 2024
