Pinnacle Peak Pictures has acquired North American theatrical rights to Matter of Time, a sci-fi dramedy from filmmaker Jeremy Snead, with an exclusive theatrical release set for February 27, 2026.

The film follows Charlie Fleck, a 29-year-old aspiring video game designer who stumbles upon a device that can stop time, giving him the chance to chase the ambitions he has always put off. What starts as a dream scenario slowly turns more complicated, as the ability to pause life forces Charlie to confront the cost of control, ambition, and the people caught in between.

Matter of Time stars Myles Erlick alongside Sean Astin, with Ali Astin and Jamie Alexander appearing in supporting roles. The film marks a rare on-screen reunion for Sean Astin and his daughter Ali Astin, their first shared appearance since The Lord of the Rings era. Directed by Snead, the film blends emotional character drama with genre-forward sci-fi elements, pulling from themes of creativity, grief, friendship, and gaming culture.

The film premiered at the Dallas International Film Festival in 2025 and later screened internationally at SCI-FI-LONDON. Pinnacle Peak Pictures plans a targeted theatrical rollout in partnership with IGN Entertainment, aiming to connect the film directly with audiences drawn to narrative-driven games, science fiction, and creator-led storytelling.
