Drew is approaching the end of his twenties and, with it, his relative youth. Looking to make a sudden change, he decides to quit his cushy desk job and "embrace life." Cycling quickly through friends, hobbies, and goals, it's not long until Drew realizes he has no idea what to do with his newfound freedom. Led by Colin Burgess and featuring a wide ensemble of New York City's funniest performers, Ryan Martin Brown's debut feature is an uproarious comedy -- filmed on location in the midst of America's "Great Resignation" -- about the search for meaning in the modern world.

Keenly observed and winningly performed. Go to Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (LAist) 03/23/2024
It kind of floats away as you're watching it, but it has a fascinating core idea... It's promising, and I'd like to see another film by this director. Go to Full Review Christian Zilko IndieWire 03/22/2024

Rather than a spirited diatribe about the need to step away from our desks and live life, it’s a thoughtful little comedy about how those soul-crushing hours in the office have the unintended benefit of giving us a personal life that’s worth missing. Go to Full Review Elissa Suh Moviepudding (Substack) 04/11/2024
A satirical portrait of disaffected youth, Ryan Martin Brown’s concise almost unbearably hilarious film is small in scale but suggestive of something larger in spirit as it dramatizes the Millennial Resignation and elevates it into fable. Go to Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist 03/26/2024

At 76 minutes, “Free Time” is a short, easy watch, one that might not leave a lasting impression but manages to succeed in anticipating what’s next for Burgess and director Ryan Martin Brown. Go to Full Review Caleb Hammond The Film Stage 03/25/2024
B+
Free Time’s strength comes in allowing ample room for grace alongside its indictments. Eschewing self-righteousness, Free Time merely presents a collection of observations on how modern life often plays out like an absurdist comedy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

leah k 04/06/2024 Pets of it were mildly funny. It was like a film school student's film. See more Susan C 04/05/2024 One of the two or three most depressing movies Ive ever seen. See more Zaheer P @RT76598693 01/18/2025 Unfunny and not very inspiring The main character is not likeable or believable. Plot is also weak and pointless. See more Jerry & Christine M @RT14595481 04/01/2024 A film about a young man's struggle on if life is a better journey to have a corporate career or to find his way as a creative independent soul/entrepreneur. A struggle we all can associate with when we are just starting out. A well written and produced film by Ryan Martin Brown. A definite see. Hopefully this movie will work its way through the independent film Industry. See more Viviana R @RT62717769 03/31/2024 Brilliant director and producer! Wonderful cast!
