SYNOPSIS
From the hilarious minds of comedians Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, the duo behind ON CINEMA, comes a political satire involving a murder charge, e-cigarettes, an EDM festival, and a campaign to unseat the San Bernardino District Attorney.
MISTER AMERICA follows Tim Heidecker's delusional attempt to enter the world of politics. After beating a murder charge for selling faulty e-cigarettes at an EDM festival, Tim seeks revenge by running an absurd campaign to unseat the San Bernardino District Attorney. Fueled by ego and ignorance, he tries to surmount a lack of experience, funds and likeability by personally connecting with unsuspecting constituents. It does not go well.
