“Sold Out” is a music–based drama about a female talent scout who takes a down–on–his–luck
construction worker under her wing and helps him rise to his potential as a singer/songwriter.

“Sold Out” was filmed in Minnesota during the second coldest winter in history (the Polar
Vortex of Jan/Feb, 2019) using entirely Twin City–based cast and crew.

“Sold Out” was picked up for worldwide distribution by Indie Rights. The movie is now available
to stream on Amazon and Tubi. The movie was directed by Tim Dahlseid who is a native Minnesotan. This is his first feature film. Tim wore many hats; director, cinematographer, editor, set builder, actor, stunt driver and dog wrangler just to name a few. Tim has a background in photography, a visceral style of storytelling and ability to problem solve whatever issues arise on the set.

“Sold Out” stars Sam Bardwell and Kelsey McMahon. Bardwell is a veteran stage actor in
Minneapolis and McMahon is a Julliard alum and a rising musician who goes by the stage name
Mousie.
