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

Tim, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on so far is my current feature script I’m developing for screen, “Alex & MOR: (A Love Odyssey)”. I’ve been working on the initial concept for 2 years now, and the current iteration I believe is the most personal to me and aspects of my life. It deals with themes of perception, choosing your life’s dream versus the one you love, and identity.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Sure, my name Is Tim Glover, I was born in Augusta, Ga, and raised in Atlanta. About a year and half into college, I dropped out to pursue a career as a film writer/director. Over the years, I’ve won various awards for my short films, including the IMAX Big Picture In Focus award in 2016 for my short film N-Touch. In 2018, I left my stable, dead end 9-5 job when I was presented the opportunity to work in the VFX department for Avengers: Endgame.

I continued on to work on various VFX heavy superhero properties (The Suicide Squad, Hawkeye, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever). During this time working on set, I learned a great amount about the industry, how to talk to people, how sets are ran, and also how similar big budget filmmaking was to my indie style of filmmaking

I think the thing I’m most proud of is the recent proof of concept I shot for Alex & MOR. It was 3 days of running and gunning, with a very small crew of like 4-5 people. The results yield really was great. I’m proud to show to people and say “Yeah me and my 4 friends shot this, imagine if we had a bigger crew!”

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

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is actually sharing it with people and seeing their reactions. Often as a creative person I daydream a lot, or my mind drifts off to think about worlds or characters I’m creating in my head, and lately those daydreams have become more textured, more elaborate, possibly because my mind will fixate on something until it’s right, like a puzzle. Seeing peoples reactions to something I’ve put so much love and time into is worth is, and not just a reaction but the conversation also, that’s a great thing.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

I think the actual struggle itself, and the time that goes into creating something. It’s not easy. When someone else sees it, what they are seeing may be the 5th or 6th version of this thing, or even later. They don’t know the time you spent just trying to crack the story, and then layer it with characters, with themes, with tone. It’s a lot of mental work in the beginning, in the writing phase. In the filmmaking or directing phase, for me because I shoot all my own stuff, it becomes mental and physical. The phrase blood, sweat, and tears definitely applies to creatives who give it their all, and then some.
