"Ultra Low" follows the misadventures of a determined filmmaking duo as they navigate the trials and tribulations of creating their first short film. From forgotten equipment to unexpected setbacks, the film offers a candid and often hilarious glimpse into the realities of indie production.
Poletti's approach to storytelling is refreshingly authentic, drawing inspiration from her own experiences in the industry. At the heart of "Ultra Low" lies a deep-seated passion for storytelling. The film's characters resonate with audiences on a deeply human level. Through their struggles and triumphs, viewers are reminded of the universal desire to create.
