MICRO BUDGET
BY MORGAN EVANS, 2025

Catalog Number: FTF-173
Length: 88 minutes

When Terry discovers he's about to be a father, he does what any other sane person would do. He moves himself and his nine-months-pregnant wife from Iowa to Los Angeles to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer. Documented by his cousin Devin’s behind-the-scenes camera crew, Terry suddenly finds that his beliefs about diversity, the #MeToo movement, and what technically qualifies as a properly financed film production put him at odds with, well, every single person who meets him. Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs, Micro Budget follows Terry’s disastrous attempts to make a disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.

"From top to bottom, this film is comedic gold. A great film" -Jules Caldeira, Film Inquiry

"Micro Budget is a rambunctious comedy with the same absurdist flow as something like Parks and Rec or The Office." -Jerry Roberts, Armchair Cinema

“Deliciously sharp and full of outside-the-box thinking." -Tatiana Hullender, Screen Rant
