Take the imaginary short film “Lusty Affair” (2012) – not the one you’re thinking of, but a forgotten 12-minute indie drama shot in Budapest. The director, Matty (a pseudonym for Máté L. Kovács), wanted to film a noirish romance. But the producer misheard “noir” as “more” – and suddenly the budget was cut, the script lost, and the only thing left was… the B-roll of two actors walking through a market, shot in 1080p on a Canon 5D Mark II.
