Free Time is an independent American comedy film written and directed by Ryan Martin Brown and starring Colin Burgess. It was released in theaters on March 22, 2024.[1]
It was filmed in New York City in 10 days[1] in the fall of 2021.[2] Brown has said the film was influenced by The Heartbreak Kid and The Jerk.[3] Visually, it was inspired by the films of Éric Rohmer.[2]
The film was produced by Mackenzie Jamieson, Justin Zuckerman, Nolan Kelly, and Paula Andrea González-Nasser.[4]
On August 24, 2023, the film was acquired by Cartilage Films.[5]
Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "cleverly concocted and occasionally hilarious tale of Generation Z malaise."[1]
Christian Zilko of Indiewire gave it a B-, writing, "Burgess embodies Drew with the prerequisite amount of neuroticism for the lead in such a stereotypically New York movie."[6]
