Interesting facts

The Seller is a 1998 American Independent feature film written and directed by American director Craig Schlattman. It stars Brian Brophy, Mink Stole, Arthur Roberts, and Kathy Morozova in her first film role.

Production

The Seller's tense opening tone was created in a small warehouse location in Los Angeles, then continued to the surrounding areas via rental truck and hard-working crew. This intimate team went on location to Frazier Park and continued to skirt the city in the desert area around El Mirage, Victorville and Lancaster.

The company went on the road for a two-week trip, sharing motel rooms and shooting in pre-arranged and improvised locations, then basing themselves in Victorville, where cast and crew members came and left as shooting demanded, or went on to previous commitments.

Arriving back in the Valley for Aunt Betty's location was bittersweet in its loss of small-town friendliness and driving, but welcome in its more temperate climate. Aunt Betty's Reseda location took place over four days and fit perfectly into the suburban small-town Texas feel needed for the culminating scenes.
