Description

Canadians’ awkward inability to haggle is humorously played out in this comedic short film. Through give-and-take dialogue, Oliver Dennis and Noam Jenkins sell their performances as relentless negotiators. In the end, one questions if anyone really wins when it comes to the purchase of a used futon. AR

Peter Wellington has worked as a director on numerous television programmes. He is the director of the feature films Joe’s So Mean to Josephine (96) and Luck (03), as well as the short films Morning Glory (92) and Pointless Film (09).
