Synopsis

"Lights. Camera. Asshole."

Terry (Patrick Noth) has a dream to make a micro-budget indie flick and, with his nine-months pregnant wife (Emilea Wilson), he’s moved from Iowa to LA to make this happen.

He’s got a cast and crew, an AirBnB and his cousin is shooting the making-of documentary… Micro Budget is that film and what unfolds is a comedy that shifts from the awkward to the embarrassing to the laugh-out-loud, as it rapidly becomes clear that Terry has no idea what he’s doing. 

But when has that ever stopped a dreamer? He knows his disaster movie will be sold to a streamer! 

With a great cast that includes Bobby Moynihan, Chris Parnell, Maria Bamford, and many others, and tight scripting and direction, Micro Budget is the mockumentary you need. 

Feature Narrative | 2024 | USA
