2:06Now PlayingAs they say in Hollywood, it took Jay and Mark Duplass a decade working in the film industry to become an overnight success.
"My brother and I struggled for 10 years making bad pieces of art until we hit that first $3 movie that got into Sundance [Film Festival]," Mark Duplass tells CNBC Make It.
That seven-minute short film, "This is John," shows a man coming home and struggling to record the perfect voicemail message. It's remarkably painful to watch. Mark is the sole actor in the film, and his brother, Jay, is the director. Released in 2003, the film cost the brothers $3 (for the mini digital videotape on which it was shot) to produce.
