This #LowBudget dark comedy horror musical #BMovie is freaking wild 🤣😲😂 It's gross, it's bizarre, it's what you'd expect from a Troma production.

Random Poultrygeist trivia:
"One interesting controversy (for lack of a better word) from this movie that ultimately made national news concerned a man buying a DVD cleaning disc from a video store. The package containing what was supposed to be the cleaning disc was sealed. However, when the customer got home and put it into his player to clean it, the disc actually contained Poultrygeist. This “horrified” the customer. He told the news that he found what was on screen from what he thought was a cleaner was “disgusting” and even went so far as to call it a “triple-X” film. No charges were filed over whatever might have been illegal, but since it was pre-packaged from a distributor in Oakland, California, neither the video store nor Kaufman and Troma would have had any liability anyway."

INSIDE THE SMALLEST TV STUDIO IN THE WORLD
May 18, 2025

My YouTube studio is just 21.5 m². No depth of field. No room to move. But enough to frame a shot and stay credible. We spent a full year designing this setup — not for style, but for survival. Because when you're on welfare, you can’t afford a real set. You have to build one. It’s probably the smallest WebTV studio ever. And I pay for it alone.

WHEN YOUR YOUTUBE SET HAS LESS SPACE THAN A STUDENT ROOM — BUT COSTS MORE

If I rent a space, it’s not for comfort. It’s because, in 2025, you can’t run a video channel from a bed. You need a fixed lighting setup. A non-changing background. A framing area that doesn’t shift every time someone opens a door. But when you’re on welfare, every square meter is a luxury.

21.5 M² — AND THAT’S ALL

My studio — which also doubles as my office, sound booth, set, and storage — is just 21.5 square meters. There’s barely enough room to walk around a desk. No real space to pull back the camera. No proper depth of field. And yet, this space is the bare minimum to install a tripod, a softbox, a table, and sit in frame. Based on my research, this might be the smallest WebTV studio in the world. And it wasn’t improvised.

ONE YEAR OF SKETCHING, JUST TO SAVE MONEY

This setup took over a year of planning. I made floor plans. I calculated camera angles. I tested lighting placement with tape on the floor. I optimized furniture depth, desk alignment, and sound bounce — all just to squeeze a functional broadcast space into 21.5 m², without losing credibility on screen. We weren’t designing for comfort. We were designing for output — on €0 of income.

RENT IN MARSEILLE

Even a small space like this costs real money in a city like Marseille. Not because you live in it — but because you shoot in it. There’s no sofa. No TV. No storage. Just walls, gear, and a hope that the framing looks professional enough to convince someone you’re worth watching. We’re not selling views. We’re selling credibility.

FINAL WORDS

In 2025, even after cutting every non-essential tool, my business expenses still exceed €2,600 per year. In 2024, before trimming everything, I was spending over €4,300 a year — for €0 revenue. All while living on €500/month in welfare. That’s €6,000/year just to survive — and €4,000+ out of pocket just to try and exist online. This isn’t a hobby. It’s not a whim. It’s not even a gamble. It’s simply the cost of existing as an independent creator — in a world where every tool is privatized, every pixel monetized, and every outsider is treated as a glitch to be corrected.
