Any time one happens, its like a miracle.
Its like my gravestone in a film.
I mean, its high-concept.
But for me, its quite serious, says Lowe.
Its reincarnation, but its about time as well.
And its about second chances and fucking up.
Theres a good joke about a fish wife.
Agnes pledges her eternal love to a man she barely knows.
Then she falls over a dog.
The joke within the film is that no one can escape.
And thats really annoying to them, she explains.
Nobody in the film is falling in love with the right person.
Agnes is kind of an idiot as well.
I think its quite transgressive at the moment.
To have a stupid female character is quite challenging to the audience.
She could have a scary documentary made about her!
Lowe jokes about Agnes.
Its in keeping with the film though, which tackles massive themes and constantly undermines them.
And thats then funny.
Lowes not been to SXSW before but is stoked to be premiering the film to this audience.
I dont think it would work.
This is a comedy audience.
I think its perfect, she says.
I just want people to have that appetite and that kind of rock and roll vibe.
Timestalker has its premiere at SXSW and will open later this year.
