We recently connected with Tim Glover and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Tim, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

My directorial debut, Alex & MOR: A Love Odyssey. I’ve been working on it since the summer of 2020, it started as a short film, now it’s a feature film.

The logline is:
“A couple seeks to reunite through space and time, as one lives through the first day they met, and the other wakes up in the desert without memory of their relationship.”

It started as a short, and evolved into a more traditional love story but I aimed to pair the love story with concepts of soul mates, otherworlds, time, beautiful vistas, and ultimately bring it back home to find out how the characters came to be who they are in the story.

We filmed over the course of 2 years, filming in between me working on sets of bigger productions.

This story is deeply personal in ways I know people won’t understand, I’m extremely proud of the work of the actors and crew on this project. One goal I had, that I think we succeeded in is making a project that punches above its weight class in terms of production, and quality.

Tim, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

After graduating high school I had no idea what I wanted to do. I went to college for a year and took a film class. That’s when the bug bit me. I had always been the kid who drew in class. In the 6th grade I didn’t have a yearbook, I had this sketchbook that I drew my own comics in and had my classmates sign it.
I realized I didn’t need school to make films so I dropped out.

I would make these “mock” trailers with friends in my neighborhood. 3-5 scene cut together based off an idea we would have-all various genres. Those trailers soon turned to short films and in 2016 I won an award for one of my short films in a festival where IMAX was a sponsor. I got the opportunity to have lunch with the CEOs of IMAX and tour the facility. One of the people I met there used to work for Marvel which led to me landing my first job on an official set in the VFX department on Avengers: Endgame. Over the last few years I’ve strengthened my relationships and worked back and forth between VFX and Props, on shows like Hawkeye, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Megalopolis, and more recently Superman.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

For the longest my goal was to make a feature film. Now that I’ve done that my goal has transcended into creating a meaningful body of work. I want to make films that express who am, my thoughts, my fears, my interests, so that years from now if someone were to watch my films possibly they could say they knew me.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

This is always different depending on what phase of project I’m working on, but I really love directing, and conversing with actors about what we’re attempting to convey. Actually making a film is the most rewarding thing to me. From directing to editing to sound design, I really enjoy all aspects of it.
