A micro movie is a type of short film characterized by a low budget and distribution via social media.
Micro movies originated in Hong Kong in 2010.[1] Karen Mok (Hong Kong–based singer and actress) and Adam Duke starred in "Cadillac," which is regarded as the first micro movie.[2] Afterwards, micro movies became a trend in South Asia. As professional-grade technology has become more accessible, amateurs hoping to enter the film industry have turned to the micro movie format to avoid limitations imposed by television and film studios. The accessibility of production, along with a growing popularity, has led to a wide range of subjects being featured and examined in the micro movie format.
