Full Time puts the alarm clock in the spotlight. Our nonstop hero beeps, swipes, and runs to fit 36 hours into a single work day.  Add motherhood into the dizziness of low-wage labor, and we meet Full Time in its entirety. At first glance the film appears to be the slice-of-life of a single mother trying her best. Yet, as we relate more and more with her struggle; the missed transport, the interview cram, the endless tardiness, we begin to see a critique of the systems we live and work in. And yet, within all of the stress, fatigue, and endless running, there is hope.

"Worked to the bone because of her inability to find decent employment and child care, because her supervisor only values her insofar as she obeys like a robot, Julie is a veritable Everywoman, in thrall to a system that demands productivity at every turn. Such a life makes one brittle, but there are no breaks." – The New York Times
