The short opens with a two and half minute zoom-out continuous shot, where we are introduced to our protagonist. Bruce (The Salesman) strikes up an awkward conversation with a waitress – wittily portrayed by Tiffany Tapp. His self-assurance is rock-bottom which provides frequent moments of tragicomedy – notably when his nervous disposition rejects her sexual advances.
‘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.
