Directing

T.I.M.

Spencer’s debut feature film, T.I.M., premiered on 16th August 2023 on Netflix UK. It spent two weeks in Netflix’s top five and reached number one, knocking Heart of Stone off the top spot.

The film stars Georgina Campbell (Barbarian, Bird Box Barcelona), Eamon Farren (The Witcher, Twin Peaks) and Mark Rowley (The Last Kingdom). Spencer co-wrote the movie with award winning author Sarah Govett.

The film follows Abi, a robotics scientist, who moves to the countryside with her husband, Paul, to make a fresh start following his affair. She’s been hired by Integrate to put the finishing touches to a revolutionary new product, ‘T.I.M’ – a humanoid A.I. that syncs with its owner’s devices to anticipate their every need.
However, Abi’s dreams of a new life are derailed when her T.I.M. becomes obsessed with her, doing whatever is necessary to take Paul’s place. A stalker in her own home, T.I.M. uses its access to their data and company smart home to manipulate her and fake evidence of a fresh affair.
What hope does trust have against an intelligence that can access your bank account, perfectly imitate your voice, and deep-fake incriminating footage? How can you escape something that can remotely lock your doors or take control of your driverless car as it speeds down the motorway?
As T.I.M.’s obsession deepens, it’s not just their relationship that is in danger. It’s their lives.
