EXCLUSIVE 'Timer' Clip Finds Emma Caulfield Turning To A Matchmaker To Find Love

Available On

TiMER on Netflix

Synopsis

Finding true love is easier than ever thanks to a revolutionary bio-technological wrist implant called the TiMER, which counts down to the exact moment when people will lay eyes on their soul mates. Heartbreak is a malady of the past. Except that love-starved, pushin'-30 Oona's (Emma Caulfield, TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer) TiMER hasn't even started counting down—her destined "one" hasn't gotten himself hooked in just yet. All the people around her are literally set on their unshakable paths to true love, from her mom (who broke up with Oona's dad because he wasn't the "one"), her younger sister, and even her 13-year-old brother (who has to wait only a day). What's worse, Oona's falling for a barely twentysomething rocker (John Patrick Amedori, Gossip Girl) who is set to meet his true love in only four months.

Oona finds that as she navigates the rocky waters of love, the same technology that is supposed to make life easier is the very device that makes it all messier. With heartfelt performances and quirky characters, newcomer Jac Schaeffer's smart and delightful romantic comedy leaves behind the burning question… "would you want to know?"

About The Director

TiMER marks the feature film debut of writer/director Jac Schaeffer (b. 1978). While earning her MFA at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Jac established her reputation for charming and offbeat material such as the comedic short AVA ELDERBERRY (2003) about a woman who wakes up with a tree growing out of her ear. She also produced FOSTER STORIES (2003), an acclaimed short subject documentary about foster children aging out of the system. As a freelance writer, Jac contributed to a series of humor books including How to Get Fat (2006) and How to Go into Debt (2006). While living in New York, Jac assistant directed Synapse Productions’ Off Broadway revival of MACHINAL (2000). She holds a B.A. from Princeton University where she was a big theater dork. Jac lives in Santa Monica, California and is working on her next feature.
