The Word of a Salesman

It would have been better as a silent film in my opinion. The cinematography was horrendous. I've seen better acting in a Jr. High "Romeo and Juliette". The store clerk seems like he either flunked out of film school. I wont even get started on my opinion on the director. I've seen a few of these kids in a few movies before and I have to say i've seen better. The soundtrack was okay seemed like something based from the mind of a heroin addict. If anything I'd say remove this film from the eyes of any future viewers and possibly the responsibility of the director giving his advice to anyone else in the film industry. Do the world a favor and realize this is possibly worse than "Snakes on a Plane" or any "Bill and Ted" movie.

This is clearly a student short film and suffered the budget constraints thereupon. But good choices on B&W--kinda creepy and made it into old style "Twilight Zone" with a bit of camp. Good camera angles and script echoing the same. I think this could be the basis for a feature.

I found the sound a little uneven. It seems that the levels didn't even out when two actors were speaking. The "under five" actor was not experienced (available crew, perhaps?). Otherwise, the principals were fairly good. Again, a classic take on push-pull between two characters as opposed to depending on special effects and action sequences. The title could be better--it doesn't really make any sense to me and a bit derivative.
