HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - eTradeWire -- NASHVILLE– Phoenix Studios 1532, a rising force in independent animation, today unveiled the highly anticipated release of its groundbreaking animated feature, TIME WASTED. Set to captivate audiences worldwide in May 2027, the film will be available across leading digital platforms including Strimm, Vimeo, YouTube, YouTube TV, and Amazon Freevee / Amazon Prime Video.

TIME WASTED tells the exhilarating story of four suburban teenagers who build a homemade spacecraft to escape their mundane lives, only to inadvertently launch themselves 60 years into a hyper-digitized, future where their beloved analog world is a forgotten relic. It's a poignant and adrenaline-fueled journey about finding purpose when everything you knew is gone, and the unexpected power of nostalgia in a world that's moved on.

"This film has been a passion project, pushing the boundaries of what independent animation can achieve," says Director Erowan Blanc. "The entire team, from our incredible animators to our stellar voice cast, poured their hearts into making this a truly unforgettable experience."
"I am so glad to be a part of this project", says Actor Dustin Clapier. Actor Heath Rowe chimes in: "This is going to be the best project ever!"

The film boasts a dynamic voice cast bringing these vibrant characters to life:

• Dustin Clapier steps into the lead role of Leo, the visionary dreamer whose relentless spirit propels the group into the future. Clapier's performance imbues Leo with a raw, relatable enthusiasm that anchors the film's emotional core.
• Ella Rae Blanc shines as Mia, the pragmatic and courageous pilot who becomes the group's steadfast anchor in an alien world. Blanc's nuanced delivery captures Mia's resilience and her burgeoning, heartfelt connection.
• Henry Mikkov lends his unique talent to Jax, the anxious yet brilliant tech genius. Mikkov brings a delightful blend of wit and vulnerability to the character, making Jax the indispensable brain (and occasional comedic relief) of the operation.
• Heath Rowe embodies Sam, the sentimental archivist who captures every moment of their extraordinary journey. Rowe's performance highlights Sam's role as the emotional observer, adding depth to the film's core theme of preserving memories.

Produced by Phoenix Studios 1532, TIME WASTED promises a visually stunning and emotionally resonant adventure. Leveraging a unique "lo-fi vs. hi-fi" aesthetic, the film vividly contrasts the warm, analog glow of 2024 with the sleek, cold sterility of 2084, creating a truly immersive viewing experience.
