Film
Fonteece follows the life and times of the Peter Fonteece, an incredibly prolific video maker that nobody has ever heard of. Over the course of twelve years, Fonteece has uploaded more than 7,000 short videos across countless sharing platforms. During this time, he's crafted a bizarre aesthetic that remains compelling despite its amateur style and dubiously-sourced content. Fonteece has persisted in this endeavor regardless of the fact that nobody seems to pay his art any mind - until now.
