Sarah Sparks is pregnant and feeling wholly ambivalent, despite her boyfriend's pure enthusiasm. A committed tech-geek, she fears she is more interested in ultrasound technology than in what's being ultra-sounded. When her sister lures her to L.A. for what ends up being a terrorizing baby shower, Sarah keeps her rental van and hits the road in search of the source of her anxiety: her estranged mother, now living off the grid. SMALL, BEAUTIFULLY MOVING PARTS takes a comic and poignant look at one woman's coming-of-parenthood in the age of technology.

    Roger Ebert
  • "Unmistakably human in its warmth...an indie road movie that runs like clockwork!"
    Stephen Saito, IFC
  • "Small, Beautifully Moving Parts is quietly charming as it probes our modern anxieties about our increasing dependence on tech and whether its presence in our lives deadens us to other humans."
    Erica Lies, Bitch Media
  • "Fine performances by well-chosen players."
    Joe Leydon, Variety
  • "Director/writers Annie Howell and Lisa Robinson have a light touch and a remarkably winning lead actor."
