Epic Ambition. Major Delusion. Micro Budget.

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 “fuck-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, well, every single person who meets him.

Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs, the uproarious Micro Budget follows Terry’s disastrous attempts to make a disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.
