We celebrate the screening of this film that was shot in Boston, MA and draws heavily on New England’s rich talent pool. This comedy follows three door-to-door salesmen as they struggle to get by while pursuing an analog profession in a digital world. They unwittingly begin selling propaganda for a cult, whose popularity sweeps the city, leaving the salesmen as the only people who can undo the damage.
