Finding Frances (S04E08)

In his landmark television series Nathan For You, Canadian transplant Nathan Fielder concocts absurd, brilliant, and dubious schemes to help the mom-and-pop shops of Los Angeles. Over the years, he's convinced a moving company to sell its labor as a new exercise fad, a realtor to rebrand herself as a broker of ghost-free homes, and a coffee shop to open under the name Dumb Starbucks. In Finding Frances Fielder’s show gets upended when a former collaborator named Bill Heath, a professional Bill Gates impersonator, asks for Nathan’s help in tracking down the one who got away. With the hopes of offering closure, Fielder heads to Heath's Arkansas hometown in search of a woman Bill hasn’t seen or spoken to in 50 years. While Nathan’s methods can be outlandish and hilarious, the journey leads us to startling places, as we find ourselves peering at the soul of a mysterious and tormented old man. Following the screening, Fielder will screen never-before-seen footage from the project. No recording allowed. (True/False Film Festival)
