The document discusses a small, independent production company called Funny Monkey Productions and their first low-budget action film. They chose to distribute the film through Optimum Releasing, a smaller distributor, rather than a major studio. While big-budget action films from Universal feature famous actors, their film uses unknown actors and minimal props due to its low budget. As founders of the production company, they also served as directors, editors and actors in the film.
