Amir is an escalator attendant by day and aspiring sculptor by night. Even though he has never sculpted anything before, he hopes to one day fulfill his lifelong dream of making a marble bust of Charles Barkley. Anne comes from a well-to-do family and just started law school where she spends most of her days studying. Against the odds they decide to move into a shabby 300 square foot apartment to start a life together. But things don't go quite as planned for this odd couple. The combination of their small apartment, their threateningly charming next door neighbor and unexpected visitors from the past make them realize that maybe they aren't as perfect for each other as they had previously thought. At once both singularly funny and painfully poignant, INCREDIBLY SMALL's charming quirk is equal parts Woody Allen, John Hughes, and Eric Rohmer. Shot in Minneapolis, MN over the course of 14 days in the summer of 2009 with an independently financed micro budget, INCREDIBLY SMALL exemplifies the true spirit of independent film.
