At the seminar we are introduced to the eccentric preacher – a noteworthy performance by Cody Dermon. The preacher oozes the confidence Bruce lacks, as does Dale Dunn (Drew Russell) – a fellow seminar attendee who uses his sexual charm on female clientele. Bruce’s aspirations are real, but his lack of interpersonal skills sets him back.

‘The Salesman’ is a truly retro short with outstanding production and costume design that rewards us with a classic American feel. The considerate cinematography is equally astonishing as is the sound design and music. You can see a lot of talent and tender loving care has gone in to making this film, and that’s reflected heavily in the finished cut. Richard Corso (Writer/Director) has delivered a charming short that will certainly make you laugh – albeit at Bruce Flynn’s expense. Highly recommended.
