Temps

Running time: 84 mins

Grant Rosenmeyer (The Royal Tenenbaums) and Lindsey Shaw (Pretty Little Liars) hilariously reveal that when life gets hard, you have to grow up. Do you ever feel like running back to your dad's houseboat and eating beef jerky until your life straightens out? Then Jefferson understands you. When goalless slacker Jefferson (Rosenmeyer) meets fellow temp worker and go-getter Stephanie (Shaw), he begins to fall for her. Despite her strict no-flirting policy, Stephanie and Jefferson find themselves on amorous trips to the supply closet at work on a daily basis. But soon, secret sex in the bathroom starts losing its luster, and Jefferson begins to wonder if his 7-Eleven-shopping, ramen-eating days are over. From director Ryan Sage (A Big Love Story, Cinequest 2012), Temps gives light to the impact of a quarter-life crisis and how a little prodding can give us the push we need. - Alexis Costanza
