Media Review: Low budget movie

Posted on Saturday, April 18, 2009 by Erlik


For my first media review I decided that I won't cover an "heavy" tech vodcast like GeekBrief, Tekzilla or Diggnation but that I would cover something funny instead.

Then just on cue "Low Budget Movie" appeared in the Miro featured list. I couldn't resist.

This comedy web video serial covers the adventures of two small scale would be filmmakers that try to produce a new independent sci-fi movie. Problem is they have no budget, no script, no actors and no talent. The tone is very reminiscent of "The Office" with Steve Carrell, be it in the humor or in the style, as it adopts the same "fake documentary" presentation as the NBC serial. The production looks quite professional for something that is published on the web too.

I have seen the trailer and the first 2 episodes which were great. A third episode is due to be released very soon, and if you wish you can buy the whole movie on DVD. As pointed out it is available for download in the Miro directory and in iTunes. If you prefer to watch online it is availlable on the authors website and in high resolution on Openmovies (although it is somewhat too compressed to really benefit from the higher resolution).

I will do regular reviews of free web media that I find interesting, subscribe to my feed to be notified!
