Testament: The Parables Retold (2022)
Very, very good - and exceptional considering the budget

This is well written, well acted, and well directed - not to be unfair, but all that came as a surprise after I'd read that it was made with $50k.
Overall it's a very talented retelling of biblical parables in a modern setting, which should appeal to broad audiences. The tone is somewhat dark and heavy, but probably appropriate when you consider the persecution of the early church. The dialogue is solid and there's enough action to keep you watching from one parable to the next.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do with a bigger budget and the time to develop the characters further in a series format.
