By confining an episode to one location, there can be major cost savings and faster production times, allowing chunks of the season’s budget to be reserved for other, more gradiose episodes....

The 13 Best One

One-man movies tend to fall into two buckets: either they’re utter genius in concept and execution, or the dullest experience in cinema. Ever since the very first movie was made, filmmakers have been trying to find innovative ways to make great movies on tight budgets, which often means skimping on high-profile actors. In some cases, it’s taken even further by only featuring a single actor for the whole film. Whether for budgetary reasons or creative reasons, these films—when done well—offer uniquely great experiences....
