Killing Time is a 1979 American short black comedy film[1] written and directed by Fronza Woods, who also stars in the film under the pseudonym Sage Brush, and produced by the Women's Interart Center.

[3] Killing Time was screened in Los Angeles, California, in June 1981, as part of a program titled "Nu Mooveez".

[1] In 2017, Richard Brody of The New Yorker called Killing Time "very simply, one of the best short films that I've ever seen", praising the voiceover narration as both "sharply comedic" and "deeply moving".
