Finding Fronsdal (2017)

After the emotional death of his father, Documentarian Kevin Morra searches for a meaningful subject to film as a way of reflection and self-healing. He soon discovers the story of an 85 year old Physicist named Christian Fronsdal, who, despite his age, is currently sailing by himself from Panama to French Polynesia over the course of several weeks. After making contact through satellite communication, Kevin is invited to join Captain Fronsdal on his catamaran so that Kevin can capture Fronsdal's adventure to then be made into a documentary film. But before plans are finalized, all communication from the Captain suddenly stops. Not willing to give up on the subject, Kevin instead directs the film as a journey to 'Find Fronsdal.' The search begins on a small atoll in French Polynesia called, Fakarava. There, Kevin discovers individuals from all around the world who participate in the pursuit to find the Captain. The quest intensifies into a philosophical adventure that pushes an intimate conversation surrounding some of life's biggest questions.
