FRANCES FERGUSON
Frances Ferguson
Bob Byington, 2019
Catalog No.: FTF-130

Nick Offerman's narration adds savor to Bob Byington's bone-dry comedy about a Nebraska substitute teacher (Kaley Wheless) whose crushing discontent drives her to an ill-advised transgression. This SXSW Audience Favorite also stars David Krumholtz and Martin Starr. "Strong, original storytelling. Charming and wistful. Restlessly inventive." (Eric Kohn, IndieWire)

PRESS
“Frances Ferguson is an acquired taste, but one worth discovering. Like a new cocktail. Once you take your first swig and understand that this is not a light beer, an old-fashioned sure goes down smooth.”
- Chris Gore, Film Threat
“A funny dark comedy that's at once playful and sardonic, and a brilliant commentary on gender roles.
-Robert Daniels, 812filmreviews
“Captures the darkness of scandal, while finding the comedy and lightheartedness within such a dark subject matter.”
-Amanda Mazzillo, Film Inquiry
“The void has never seemed so lighthearted, nor the abyss so appealing.”
-Christopher Llewellyn Reed, Hammer to Nail
