A family's home movies document a desperate crime spree and a bid to outrun the consequences…Or do they? In this meta-fiction thriller, an average family’s youtube videos have been edited to resemble something quite different. An extraordinary feat of editing, a provocative parable of the pursuit of happiness, and a disturbing demonstration of the mutability of the stories we share in the Internet age, FRAUD defies simplistic definition.

"First off, the slipcover is one of my favorites to come out of Vinegar Syndrome. It makes the whole package just pop. This one is a documentary of sorts but that’s all I’ll say as I think the impact comes from watching it without prior knowledge. I knew this was divisive and now I get it. I wouldn’t disagree with someone who hates it. But I also love it. Either way, it’s a conversation starter."
"Love a solid blind buy"
"Actually insane film. The extras deliver on this one~ very cool lore"
"Utterly compelling viewing. Go into this as spoiler free as possible - by the time you're done watching the extras your mind will be blown."
"Loved it! Great slip cover"
"It’s amazing the story that these filmmakers could tell with found footage. Documentary as a whole is deeply misunderstood, and this film is one of the best examples of that."
"Memory continues to put out exceptional release with their catalog. Although this film didnt exactly grip me the way their other narrative features did, I still enjoyed the ride."
"Interesting experiment but does not end up being wholly successful. This is an interesting watch for fans of experimental cinema but not something I feel I will be compelled to revisit."
"A really cool release. Great packaging and design that fits the enigmatic and obscure film. Awesome thicker booklet than usual, and good special features. Maybe too expensive for the length of the film, but it is a very bespoke, cool release."
"Pretty crazy he found Youtube family footage and edited it into a crime story. An exercise in great editing. It was nice getting a few special features into the making of it cause I was very interested. Short but sweet!"
