Devon Bostick, Christopher Meloni and Dean Norris star in 'Small Time'

The low budget film, which Sparrow paid for himself, follows the story of Freddy Klein, played by Devon Bostick, a teenager who chooses to not go to college in favour of working on his father's (Christopher Meloni) used car business.

Freddy's father, Al, works with his best friend Ash Martinit (Dean Norris) and they have formed a very successful business duo who use every sales tactic known to man, but are also not afraid of telling their unaware customers little white lies to secure a sale.

Freddy is attracted to this lifestyle and as soon as he graduates from high school, the teenage boy decides to skip college and purses a career by following in his father's footsteps.

Al is initially thrilled to hear this news, he has desired to spend more time with Freddy for quite some time, but is it too late before he realizes what a big mistake his son is making?

Freddy's rash decision causes unnerve within the family, his mother Barbara (Bridget Moynahan), and Al's divorced wife, doesn't take to the news very well. "If you think that I am going to let our son throw away his life to become a peddler."she says to Al who quickly hangs up on her.

The two minute-long video shows that Freddy takes after his father and is a natural salesman, highlighted in one instance when he tells a rather overweight lady about a new offer. "We are giving away a free George Foreman grill with every car we sell today," he says, which works as the women quickly agrees to buy a truck.

But behind Freddy starting his dream job, Barbara and Al are in a constant battle of what is right for their son, and at one very distressed moment, his mother quite harshly says, "If he ends up like you Al, I will hang myself...no offence."
