\n\tEXCLUSIVE: NoBudge<\/a>, a Brooklyn-based streaming platform and distributor, is releasing its second feature \u2014 the micro-budget, lo-fi comedy Pomp & Circumstance from filmmakers Adrian Anderson<\/a> and Patrick Gray<\/a> \u2014 following its release of Tynan DeLong\u2019s Dad & Step-Dad<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

\n\tPomp & Circumstance, which won the Audience Choice Award at the Tallahassee Film Festival and Best Feature Film at Subculture Film Festival (where it was the closing night selection), is set for an exclusive one-month release on NoBudge Sept. 18, with other VOD platforms like Amazon Prime and Apple TV following Oct. 18. Blu-Ray release will come via OCN Distribution next year.<\/p>\n

\n\tNoBudge founder Kentucker Audley said, \u201cExisting for over a decade predominantly in the short film internet streaming space, NoBudge is very excited to take another step into the wider film distribution landscape partnering with filmmakers for VOD streaming and physical media releases. Pomp & Circumstance fits in perfectly with our mission and ethos\u2014a film made entirely outside the Hollywood ecosystem that beats to its own drum. The vision of directors Adrian Anderson and Patrick Gray is brimming with idiosyncratic enthusiasm, equal parts French New Wave and Mumblecore, and we\u2019re excited to share it with audiences looking for something youthful, raw and different.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten and helmed by Anderson and Gray in their feature directorial debut, the Vermont- and Massachusetts-shot freewheeling film follows three soon-to-be college grads who become embroiled in their professor\u2019s farcical mayoral campaign. Shot on 16 mm film on a $15,000 budget, the comedy is described as a \u201cloving but sarcastic homage\u201d to \u201960s-era underground cinema and \u201990s independent features, with the directing duo citing the likes of early Brian De Palma and Hal Hartman as inspirations. <\/p>\n

\n\tPic stars Ben Loftus, Noah Brockman, Isabel Zaia and Patrick J. Malone, with Tucker Bennett (The Code), Nora Austin Murphy and Alex Walton (Castration Movie) rounding out the cast. All four leads make their acting debuts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson said, \u201cWe couldn\u2019t imagine a better home for Pomp & Circumstance than NoBudge. Kentucker\u2019s commitment to championing work by emerging filmmakers is vital, and I\u2019m extremely happy our debut now sits alongside such inspiring talent from across the indie film world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
