About Timeslow: The Timeless Tales of Henry Glint
Henry Glint is a very ordinary man with routine plans for his future, until a simple impulse buy at a vending machine changes everything. When he unwraps a chocolate bar at the office, he accidentally opens a gateway to Timeslow, a strange parallel realm where time runs at a different pace. As Henry pokes at the edges of that world he encounters odd behaviors, new allies and practical puzzles about cause and effect. The story follows his attempts to understand how Timeslow reshapes everyday life, relationships and choices, with moments of humor, unease and small-scale wonder, while keeping the central mystery of the portal and its limits intact.
Directed by Sally Tran and created by Steve Barr, the film premiered in 2015 as a modest independent science fiction adventure, featuring Todd Emerson as Henry Glint and Antonia Prebble as Amelia. The production emphasizes practical effects and intimate sets to sell its altered-tempo reality.
No reliable box office data is available for this title. It did not report wide theatrical grosses, and distribution appears to have been limited, with the film reaching most viewers through independent release channels rather than major studio runs.
Though not a mainstream hit, Timeslow has resonated with a small group of science fiction fans who appreciate low-budget inventiveness. Conversations online tend to focus on its central conceit, the office-to-portal moment and how a minor, everyday object can trigger a fantastical shift, which makes that chocolate bar sequence the most talked-about piece of the film.
Critical attention was fairly limited, so assessments vary. Viewers who respond positively highlight the cast, especially Emerson and Prebble, and the movie's interest in the ethics and practicalities of time manipulation. The film raises straightforward questions about responsibility, consequence and how small choices ripple outward, all while keeping a light, adventurous tone.
