Being Sold
Synopsis
It seemed like a good idea at the time, three months into his redundancy, following a blazing row with his wife and in the midst of a particularly long drinking session, John Foster lists himself for sale on an online auction site. Flattery, coercion and a strange individual called Chris, his best friend, gives news reporter Maia Long unrivaled access to the biggest story of her fledgling career. This is an opportunity she can't miss and she will do anything to ensure that she doesn't.
The drama/comedy features a mixture of established British names alongside rising stars. Shot innovatively in just two days and helmed by award-winning director Phil Hawkins.
