Four years ago, Tom Haslett left his job as a dairy farmer to pursue a career selling adjustable beds. He was attracted to the profession, he says, because he "wanted to help people a bit." Now he's one of his company's top-grossing salesmen.
Documentary short Hurt & Save follows Tom as he ventures into peoples' homes, bedrooms, and lives, and hones his sales techniques to hilarious effect at a monthly sales meeting. Alternately serious and bizarre, Hurt & Save gives us a fascinating portrait of a man whose job uneasily combines elements of social work with a salesmanship calculated to wrest money from people who have none to spare.
