“Anna Margaret Hollyman … has a lovable screen presence.”
– and –
“Effortlessly engaging … this is a small film and knows exactly how to be a small film. Like many New Yorker short stories, its purpose is to strike a particular note and allow it to reverberate.”
–  Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN TIMES

“True to its title, the film is small, beautiful and moving.”
–  Matt Singer, TIME OUT CHICAGO
Critics Pick!

“Small Beautifully Moving Parts is a tiny sweet gem … effortless in its merging of 21st-Century techie stuff and that most basic of beta systems: our own hearts.”
–  Joe Neumaier, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

NEW YORK MAGAZINE Critics Pick!
“A well-observed little indie that goes off in pleasantly unexpected directions.”


When technophile Sarah Sparks (Anna Margaret Hollyman) becomes pregnant, her uncertainties about motherhood trigger an impulsive road trip to the source of her anxiety: her long-estranged mother living far away and off-the-grid. A SXSW premiere and winner of the Sloan Feature Film Prize, Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson co-direct this comic coming-of-parenthood tale for the internet age.
