Get ready to lose track of time—literally! The visionary director Jeremy Snead is back with a mind-bending new sci-fi drama. Matter of Time* is officially set to warp into theaters on February 27th. Featuring an incredible cast led by Myles Erlick and the legendary Sean Astin (*Lord of the Rings*, *Stranger Things), this film is shaping up to be the must-watch indie hit of the season. At 4GQTV, we’ve been tracking Snead’s career for years. This latest project looks like his most ambitious storytelling yet, blending heart-wrenching human emotion with high-concept science fiction.
Matter of Time follows the journey of Charlie Fleck (played by Myles Erlick), a 29-year-old aspiring video-game designer who is perpetually running out of time. His life takes a drastic turn when he discovers a mysterious device that allows him to stop time entirely. What starts as a dream come true—finally having the time to pursue his passions—quickly turns into an intoxicating power trip that forces Charlie to confront the true cost of ambition. The film poses a haunting question: what are we willing to risk, and who are we willing to lose, when we try to control the very moments that define our lives?
The production has a stellar lineup both in front of and behind the camera. Directed and written by Jeremy Snead, the film also features Ali Astin, Jamie Alexander, and was produced by Snead alongside Jason Baumgardner and Ian Campbell. The synergy between Snead’s direction and Erlick’s performance is said to be electric, capturing the desperation and wonder of a man who suddenly holds the universe in the palm of his hand. Meanwhile, Sean Astin brings his signature depth and gravitas to the project, ensuring that the stakes feel grounded and real even as the sci-fi elements take center stage.
Why You Should Be Hyped for “Matter of Time”
This isn’t just another time-travel flick. Snead has crafted a narrative that focuses on the cost* of “pausing” life. It’s a genre-bending exploration of friendship, purpose, and grief.

Whether you’re a fan of high-stakes drama or mind-bending technology, *Matter of Time promises to deliver a cinematic experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
