Rob Tregenza’s sixth feature returns to the American South—shot on location in Lexington and Richmond, Virginia. For Alice Sterling, the graveyard Lotus she redeems becomes a totem, a saturated phenomenon permitting her to move freely in time on a phantom road. It is a sort of Ford but never a DeLorean. A Southern woman with a fair deal of historical baggage and deep secrets, Alice journeys back to her rural home, the Lotus takes her through the shadow of the valley into the adjoining worlds of the living and the dead. Desiring to become an F1 driver, Sterling must go fast/hard, against/through all tunnels imagined or concrete” (Rob Tregenza).

Written, directed, and produced by Rob Tregenza. With Madison Pankey, Mia Grichendler, Nicholas X Parsons, Jeff Wincott, Danny Hugus.
