Shifter

Even as a kid, Teresa loved power, to blow apart and build back – just because she could! It’s all benign until she starts to mess with a phenomenon beyond her capacity. When she experiments with time travel, for a second she thinks she may be getting the ultimate control. But little does she know, time is not one to be tamed. Underestimating the perils, she is caught off-guard when things start to go awry and she starts experiencing the tortuous side effects of time travel. Randomly shifting through the fourth dimension, she starts to lose grip on what she seeks most – control. The film captivates as much with the thrilling premise, as with the masterful handling of humanistic themes of depression, loneliness, and hubris. (Cinequest Festival)
