Death of a Saleswoman - Director's Cut
6 housewives. One dead body. A trunk full of plastic storageware.
A female-forward COMEDY MYSTERY, about top-achieving women and the American Dream. And a little GREED, MURDER... and PLASTIC STORAGE WARE sprinkled on top.
When top-performing saleswoman Agatha Ruby's mysterious death happens at the height of her short-lived career, it leads to a whirlwind murder investigation and conflicting narratives about who she was, revealing all is not what it seemed in her private and professional lives.
Press/Reviews/Viewer Quotes
"This quirky twist on the (female) whodunit genre” combines Emmy nominated cast* with intricately woven plots examining what it takes to excel as a woman in a male-dominated world."
"A clever dive into the world of devious housewives who go to desperate lengths for plastic storage ware fame and fortune."
"A lite-humor, darkly comic look at cultural bias and everyday violence against high achieving women in the USA, and in our world, and how it passes so easily, so often."
Summary
A Rashomon-styled, hybrid comedy/mystery, Death of a Saleswoman is about top-dog plastic storageware saleswoman Agatha J. Ruby's mysterious death at the hands of unknown assailants.
Jealous rivals abound in her small and gossipy town, but who's actually responsible, and why? It depends entirely on which character is re-framing the narrative of her life. We meet all of Aggie's closest friends, and enemies, and learn as much about them and their views on motherhood, fatherhood, business ethics and the American Dream, as we do about Aggie.
And as we hear more of Aggie's personal struggles, isolation and career alienation which she rarely discussed, we come to realize everyone had a different truth about her, and about themselves in her world. All was not happiness and blind success in her private and professional life.
Through Aggie's life choices, we see how the quest for excellence and career success can lead women down very different, high-stakes paths. And that truth is something fragile and elusive, that changes - depending on who is spinning the narrative.
Ultimatley we're asked to consider - can reaching for the stars be fatal choices for women in our culture?
Awards/ Distribution
-Numerous US and international accolades for inventiveness and style on a micro budget. Including Best Comedy, Best Feature Film, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Family Film, Best Women's Film, and Best Low Budget Indie awards, screening at festivals and venues around the world.
