Premise

Six slackers who mooch off Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz and have been crashing at his California mansion for years struggle to maintain their lifestyle when he informs them that he is selling his home. Individually, the friends seek new living arrangements to no avail, so they attempt to prevent the sale of the home altogether, as well as raise money to purchase it.[1][2]

Development

Freeloaders was brought to Broken Lizard early into its development, to help gain funding to produce the project.[3] Principal photography was scheduled to begin in January 2009. As of October 2010, Freeloaders had entered into post-production and was awaiting distribution.[4] On October 1, 2010, the film was privately screened by Broken Lizard and Duritz at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.[5] On November 3, 2011, Myriad Pictures acquired all distribution rights to the film outside of North America.[3]
