With his best friend Alonso in tow, they journey to a secluded western destination, where Barry hopes the grand reveal will not only win Callie’s heart but also skyrocket his channel to new heights. However, in the pursuit of online fame, the trio soon discovers that not everything goes as planned in the wild west.

Director’s Vision for ‘Barry Gettin’ Married’

This film originated as part of the 48 Hour Film Project, a whirlwind competition where we had just 48 hours to make a movie from scratch. We had no idea what kind of film we’d be creating until we received our prompts the night before. With our crew and a few actors ready to go, it wasn’t until the evening before filming that the idea for Barry Gettin’ Married came together. The challenge required us to include three specific elements: 1) the use of a mirror, 2) a character named Colton, who happens to be a chef, and 3) the line, “Look what I did.”

Despite the time crunch, we filmed the entire movie the next day. After the competition, we continued refining the project, ultimately completing this full 10-minute version. We’re excited to partner with Film Shortage to bring it to audiences. Barry Gettin’ Married is a perfect example of what happens when a group of passionate creatives come together, trust the process, and have fun—even when you don’t know the story until the night before. With the right team, anything is possible!
