FIRST WAVE Of 2025 Films Announced
Here is a preview of the film goodies we have in store…
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 months 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 a properly 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 disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.
