After hitting emotional and financial rock bottom, best friends Ben and Jordan come up with a scheme to spend an entire year living “rent free” with the help of friends, family and strangers alike in a rapidly changing Austin.
“Andrés' graceful touch and stylistic filmmaking turn Rent Free into an enjoyable – and bleakly relatable – journey through the unease of young adulthood.”
The Daily Beast
“This film is hilarious, idiosyncratic, sexually charged, and quite compelling. And its casual and frank depiction of bisexuality feels both fresh and authentic.”
Awards Watch
“Austin is dead. Indie cinema is dead. The slacker buddy comedy is totally dead. So how did Fernando Andrés pull off the funniest, scrappiest, horniest, most alive miracle of a movie I've seen in recent memory? Rent Free has to be seen to be believed — or pinch me, maybe I’m dead, too?”
