OJT4 March 2017
The plot of this documentary with comic elements is as follows:

Trying to save his struggling mattress business in Ireland's recession, Michael Flynn reinvents himself as the eccentric online persona "Mattress Mick". He doesn't own property or even a car, just his family.

He decides to get help and guidance from his unemployed friend friend Paul Kelly, hiring him to help make a growing business making funny videos on social media. As business actually begins to grow, their friendship starts getting trouble.

When Stephen Fry with his 8 million followers on Twitter tweets about him things starts taking off.

The film tells about everyday struggling, applying ideas to make it work.

Kudos for making this film. It works!
