Low Budget (2005) Online
When wannabe L.A. filmmakers Jaye and Jason are accidentally hired to produce a travel show about Canada, they seize the opportunity and divert the money to make their dream project: a sci-fi epic entitled "Invasion Q." Along the way, they meet a young Canadian actress named Josée who falls for their Hollywood image and believes that this will be her big break. "Low Budget" documents the J's extraordinary journey across Canada, showing how stupidity can triumph over common sense every step of the way. Never has the world of independent films been portrayed with such honesty, artistic license and contradiction.

Due to the improvisational nature of the shoot, there were over 60 hours of footage that had to be edited down to the current runtime of 83 minutes.
Principal photography lasted two weeks, but there were two days of additional photography two months later and six days of re-shoots and new scenes six months later.
