Edward Burns' ultra-low budget — make that super ultra-low budget — film "Newlyweds" will be released by Tribeca Film this year.
Burns made the comedic relationship drama for $9,000. The movie, shot over 12 days in New York City, premiered at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
The actor-writer-director kept expenses minimal: $5,000 for actors, $2,000 for insurance and $2,000 for food and drink. There were no fancy lights and no boom mics, and the actors wore their own clothes and did their own hair and makeup.

"Newlyweds," as the name implies, is about a newlywed couple whose honeymoon period "is upended by the arrival of the husband's wild-child baby sister and the crumbling marriage of the wife's meddlesome sister."
