OUR TIME is a loosely autobiographical comedy about breaking into the world of comedy in 1975 Los Angeles. It was a golden era for comedy – sitcoms had come of age and ground breaking series like ALL IN THE FAMILY, THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, and MASH filled the airwaves, the Comedy Store just began to blossom discovering such talent at David Letterman, Richard Pryor, and Freddie Prinze, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE premiered, and creative disc jockeys still reached millions of listeners.

Who will make it and who won’t?
