Trailer for Very Peculiar SPACE/TIME Low Budget Sci-Fi Film Sets Up a Strange and Ambitious Ride

Epic Pictures has dropped the official trailer for the indie sci fi feature Space/Time, and it immediately stands out as one of those low budget productions that swings for something weird and ambitious.

Filmmaker Michael O'Halloran makes his feature debut here, and the footage offers a mix of high-concept science, moral collapse and a team of researchers pushing far past the limits of sanity. The movie is heading straight to VOD in January and there is still not much known about it since it never made the festival rounds.

The story centers on a group of scientists whose groundbreaking device folds space itself. After a catastrophic first test, the project is shut down and the team falls into disgrace.

Rather than let their research die, lead scientist Holt played by Hugh Parker and his driven assistant Liv played by Ashlee Lollback dive into the criminal underworld to fund the rebuild of their machine. Their invention could save the future or ruin everything and the trailer leans heavily into that tension.

The director explained the goal behind the film by saying, "We wanted the film to capture the rush of discovering something impossible, that moment when the world suddenly feels bigger & characters are pushed to make choices about what matters most to them." It is definitely an intriguing mission statement for something that appears both intimate and chaotic.

The synopsis reads: In a future that is barely holding together, Holt and Liv refuse to watch their breakthrough fade after tragedy shuts them down. Their obsession sends them spiraling into dangerous territory as the law closes in and the stakes rise with every new piece of their rebuilt engine.

As the trailer suggests, the device becomes less of a tool and more of a consuming force. With humanity wobbling on the edge, their experiment might be salvation or something far darker.

The cast includes Ashlee Lollback, Hugh Parker, Pacharo Mzembe, Haroon Jafarey Hall, Shaun King, Rob Horton and Craig Gaffney.

Space/Time will be released on VOD on January 13, 2026.
