Actress directs movie about open relationships

Actress Kate Aselton stars in a new film that she directed herself about a couple in an open relationship.

The Freebie will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival and focuses on a married couple who are still very much in love but whose sex life has grown tired.

Struggling to remember the last time they made love, the pair agree to give each other one night of freedom, during which they can enjoy a bit of nookie with someone else.

Speaking to Indie Wire about the movie, Ms Aselton said it was inspired by a conversation she had with a close friend about long-term relationships.

"We realised that even though we were both in perfectly happy and stable long-term relationships, we missed how easy it used to be when you didn't have the emotional responsibility that comes with a lifelong commitment," she remarked.

This year's Sundance Film Festival is due to take place in Utah from January 21st to 31st.
