Sell It To Me a Different Way was also named a Finalist at the Independent Shorts Awards and Stockholm City Film Festival.
The award-winning independent short film, 'Sell It To Me a Different Way', is set to premiere on YouTube on July 17th, 2021. It was hot on the film festival circuit this year, winning Best Indie Short at the Europe Film Festival, and awarding Salomé Robert-Murphy with Best Actress at the Metropolis Film Festival. Sell It To Me a Different Way was also named a Finalist at the Independent Shorts Awards and Stockholm City Film Festival, as well as a Semi-Finalist at the Sweden Film Awards and Indie Short Fest.
The film follows two sisters who are forced to reconcile with each other after their dad's death by splitting up an estate riddled with memories from an upsetting childhood.
Sell It To Me a Different Way was written and directed by Zack Travis, with Salomé Robert-Murphy in the role of Amy, and Lexie Duval in the role of Sarah. Travis shared that "telling a story of family dynamics means telling a story that tags on years worth of baggage. In one uninterrupted take, they [Salomé and Lexie] brought that to life."
