Thomas Lindsay is an awkward and self-conscious pyramid scheme salesman who arrives in a bleak post-industrial town with a suitcase and a hornet's nest. Although he’s never seen the product he's selling, he’s convinced that it really is a beneficial healthcare system.
Only in the course of his arduous, ongoing pitch, as he gets deeper into debt and the Wellness company’s promises fail to materialize, does he realize he has been scammed. What should he do now—sin or be saved? Jake Mahaffy’s second feature ensures his stature as a unique American filmmaker. Combining the uncomfortable world of door-to-door sales with realistic acting, he transcends all notions of documentary and narrative to make you squirm like you are with the characters, until your conscience can’t handle it. Once you climb into the tree, pulling on a hornet’s nest, you are already deep into an ode to a broken society. Will be preceded by "A Catalog of Anticipations" |
