The sophomore film from Andrés (Three Headed Beast), Rent Free follows best friends Ben and Jordan, who, after hitting emotional and financial rock bottom, 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, Texas.

The film world premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival in the US Narrative Competition to critical acclaim and two encore screenings, before playing festivals around the world including BFI Flare London, Frameline San Francisco, New Orleans Film Festival, and the São Paulo International Film Festival.
