When Facebook suggested Belgian film student Victor Van Rossem to be friends with a certain Neal D Retke, a man with a beard living in Austin, Texas, he was intrigued.
Why would Facebook suggest a stranger? Could they really be friends? Instead of sending a simple friend request, Victor jumped on a plane and went searching for Neal to see if Facebook was right.
The hilarious and pretty absurd short movie ‘Neal D Retke For President!’ documents Victor’s search for Neal and for friendship.

All he knew is that this guy lived somewhere in Austin
So he went over there
And asked people if they had seen Neal
Put up posters
Found someone who knew Neal…
…but thought it was a prank
