Synopsis:

Meet Daniel Burmeister, the most prolific filmmaker you've never heard of. Armed with a camera, a lamp for night shoots, and enough charm to persuade entire towns to join in on his dreams, this tireless, jolly DIY veteran rolls in his beat up old car from one backwater Argentine town to another, where, in exchange for room and board, he turns out a feature film in 30 days. Adapting one of his ready-made scripts to each town, he temporarily transforms these sleepy villages into bustling back lots and the bored populace into avid performers. Coupling high energy with irresistible salesmanship, Burmeister keeps in constant motion. It took the combined efforts of three filmmakers to keep up with him, and their camera is there to capture his every move, recording his reflections on life, his recollections of his past, and his remarkable ability to solve a host of on-set mishaps. From the first call of 'Action' to the 'world' premiere of each village production, The Peddler is a delightful documentary valentine to the magic of moviemaking.

Itinerant and tireless filmmaker Daniel Burmeister travels from village to village in rural Argentina, making feature films with a cast of untrained locals and building community through collective acts of cinema.
