What it’s about. Businessman Gerald Barker is invited to join a mysterious super corporation known as The Firm. His work in the organisation turns out to be of a unique and somewhat disturbing nature. But Gerald finds no comfort with his wife Melissa and friend Barry - his relationships with both collapse. In a surreal and strange fashion, Gerald eventually comes to understand what The Firm is about. Made on a tiny budget of $15,000 the film is a mix of naturalism and stylisation which the filmmaker hoped would work on 'a simple, surrealistic level'.
Who’s in it. The Firm Man stars Peter Cummins as Gerald Baxter, Eileen Chapman as Melissa Baxter, Bethany Lee as Girl and Peter Carmody as Barry, among others.
