MICRO BUDGET

Directed by Morgan Evans | 88 min | USA

When Terry (Patrick Noth) discovers he's about to be a father, he does what any other sane person would do. He moves himself and his nine-month pregnant wife from Iowa to Los Angeles to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer for a "f**k-ton of money."

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 an adequately financed film production put him at odds with anyone who meets him.

An uproarious mockumentary featuring a cast of bonafide comedy masterminds, including Patrick Noth, Bobby Moynihan, Chris Parnell, Maria Bamford, Carla Jimenez, Nichole Sakura, and many more, MICRO BUDGET follows Terry's disastrous attempts to make a low-budget movie, and his inability to serve an edible lunch.
