The Sticky Fingers of Time

  • written and directed by Hilary Brougher
  • (Toronto International Film Festival, 9 September 1997)

After watching an H-bomb test in 1952, frustrated writer Tucker Harding finds herself in 1997 where she runs into frustrated, suicidal writer Drew, and then both the writers have a lot of slow-paced angst when editor/friend Isaac explains that Tucker will be killed, causing her stuff to permeate time and infect lots of other time travelers. —Michael Main
Think of nonlinear time as a pie. We can eat the pieces in any order, but you can’t eat the same slice twice. And baby, I’ve eaten a lot of pie.
Terumi Matthews (as Tucker Harding) sits at a messy desk in front of a black,
                manual typewriter.
