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.
