Factory 25, a Brooklyn-based independent film distribution company was founded in 2009 by Matt Grady. F25 is a home for conceptually provocative narratives and documentaries. Its mission is to deliver specialized film and music titles in an aesthetically captivating way while exposing the indie world to under-the-radar films, music, and other curiosities in various ways and formats — theatrically, digitally, on TV, VOD, via subscription, limited edition DVDs,  Blu-ray's, books and vinyl. Vinegar Syndrome’s sister company, OCN Distribution, is thrilled to be representing this diverse and unique home video line!

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.

Fun

"Picked it up on a whim."

— Timothy L. (5/5)

A Heartfelt Celebration of Indie Filmmaking

"Micro Budget is an affectionate indie comedy that understands both the struggles and the joy of low-budget filmmaking. The cast has great chemistry, making the characters feel genuine and easy to root for. Their enthusiasm carries the film and gives it a lot of personality. The film’s biggest strength is its sentiments. Beneath the humor is an appreciation for creativity, perseverance, and the passion it takes to make movies with limited resources. It feels like a celebration of independent filmmaking rather than a parody of it. The overall service of this release is solid. The presentation is clean, and the package feels thoughtfully assembled, making it an enjoyable addition for collectors and fans of indie cinema. Overall, this is a charming, heartfelt film that captures the spirit of independent filmmaking with plenty of humor and sincerity."

— Tim L. (5/5)

From the writer of Merry Little Batman

"A comedy that doesn't try to be anything else. There aren't a lot of these anymore. I found it funnier as it went along. It's very California oriented and may land even better if you're in the business, which is my only knock. The computer animation with the kid with a beard was a nice touch."

— Alex B. (4/5)

Not Sharp Enough

"Fairly forgettable movie about movie making. It's something which has been done before, but much sharper. That's not to say it's a bad movie, because it certainly isn't, but I just didn't find it all that amusing. I found the director character in particular a bit annoying, which obviously is the idea but only to the extent that it's funny."

— Sam N. (3/5)

Quite funny mockumentary

"The comedy is kind of all over the place, but when it’s funny, it’s really funny. The scenario of a midwesterner sinking his savings into his first film before his baby comes and ruins his life (his sentiments, not mine) is silly and semi-believable. That’s all you need for a comedy to work. And great actors. The cast is pretty great. There are some big name cameos and familiar faces, along with some unknowns (to me) that all hold their own. The artwork on the slip is great. I love how low budget the reversible art feels in comparison."

— Jason F. (4/5)

"An enjoyable film."

Great slip, fun flick

"Fun flick"

— Richard J. (4/5)

Great release!

"A comedy feature about an aspiring director who recklessly moves himself and his nine-months-pregnant actress wife from Iowa to LA to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer for a "f***-ton of money. ""

— Sebastian V. (5/5)

A Great Cast!

"Very funny stuff with a stellar cast of comedy greats!"

— Charles A. (4/5)

Fun flick

"Happy to be able to support some of my favorite comedians like John Gabrus and Mike Mitchell. Good time with a very silly story"

— Sean H. (5/5)
