New episode is live now.

Ricky Glore joins Masters of the Micro Budget to break down how Sweet Meats became a $22K Troma-connected horror musical.

We get into the real path behind the film: comedy, crowdfunding, rebuilding after a project fell apart, learning while making the movie, production costs, marketing choices, and what it actually takes to get a microbudget feature finished and released.

No fluff. No vague inspiration. Real budgets. Real decisions. Real lessons.

New episode of Masters of the Micro Budget coming Sunday 10am PST.

Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@mastersofthemicrobudget

Ricky Glore joins me to break down SWEET MEATS, his strange, scrappy, Troma-connected horror musical comedy made for $22,047.59.

This one is a real case study in pivoting when another project falls apart, raising money through Indiegogo, hiding the musical comedy angle in the early marketing, chasing press and screenings, and learning the hard way that bad audio is never something you can “fix later.”

We get into:
• The real $22,047.59 budget • Raising about $16K before filming • How SWEET MEATS grew out of a failed project • Lloyd Kaufman, Troma, and what that connection actually meant • Actor pay, effects, costumes, gear, art, sound mix, and fulfillment costs • Why Ricky would never shoot eight days straight again

This episode is funny, honest, weird, and extremely useful for anyone trying to make a feature without pretending the numbers do not matter.

A $75K stoner zombie comedy sounds fun.

But what happens after the movie is finished?

In Episode 5 of Masters of the Micro Budget, filmmaker Michael Seabolt breaks down the real economics behind Zombie Strain: 9 shoot days, limited locations, paid cast and crew, post costs, distribution, streaming platforms, and the long road to recouping a microbudget horror feature.

This is a great one for indie filmmakers who want the truth about making and releasing low-budget horror.

Episode 1 of Masters of the Micro Budget premieres TODAY @ 10am PST May 17.

I’m kicking off the series with Shawn Burkett, director of Don’t F**k in the Woods, for a conversation about what it actually takes to get a microbudget feature made and out into the world.

We talk about the decisions behind the film, the production realities, the things that worked, the things that hurt, and what Shawn would carry into the next one.

I built this show for filmmakers who are trying to figure out their own path.
