Catherine returns to work after a hiatus.

Say “cheese,” and that’s often the result: A cheesy, plastered-on fake grin in a photo. Dean Fleischer-Camp, who directs the popular “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” videos with former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Jenny Slate, pranks his friends by asking them to pose for photos, but taking video of them instead.

A middle-class family goes to extremes to achieve the American Dream in this masterfully edited found footage documentary hybrid. Director Dean Fleischer Camp discovers on YouTube over 100 hours of home footage shot by an unknown working-class man who obsessively filmed his family for more than 7 years. Birthday parties, trips to the mall, family vacations–seemingly endless footage of their mundane activities are skillfully shaped into a provocative and unexpected narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. At once meditative and thrilling, FRAUD is the director’s unique and layered vision of capitalism, personal identity, and biography in media.

Marcel the shell gives an outline of their life.
