"FreeLance" Takes On Creativity & Gig Culture in Sundance 2026 Premiere!

Join Nerdigo Media correspondent Kay-B for a conversation with FreeLance co-director Justen Turner (Foreshadow) and writer and co-director Julien Turner (Nia’s Shadow).

FreeLance, a 2026 Sundance episodic program premiere, is an original comedy about Lance (Spence Moore II, All American), a young twenty-something filmmaker trying to juggle the gig economy while pursuing his first big break filming a wedding. He brings along his brother and his roommates, who also happen to be his friends and fellow creatives, so what could possibly go wrong?

Watch our chat about their 2026 Sundance Film Festival experience, how their creative projects have deepened their personal relationship as brothers, the importance of betting on themselves, their dream casting for this project, the nuances of being working creatives, and so much more!
