MICHIGAN PREMIERE. Sifting through one average family’s seemingly banal, iPhone-recorded, YouTube-uploaded home movies, director DEAN FLEISCHER-CAMP (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) pieces together a darker tale of criminal activity and deliberate deception. Mixing cinema vérité with a morality play, Fraud evokes much broader conversations about American materialism, consumerism, and capitalism. More importantly, it speaks to the “truthiness” of information on the web. In other words, what you see isn’t always what you get.
