Finding Frank is a story of redemption inspired by a special man who recently passed away at the age of 86. Frank's legacy will impact generations to come, but his identity will remain veiled. To atone for his perceived sins and distressing iniquities, he carefully constructed a facade of insignificance and self-deprecation. Through unexpected circumstances, I became privy to Frank's extravagant life story; after careful consideration, I have decided to share it with the world.

Finding Frank comprises three distinct timelines, interjected to poetically illustrate how Frank's life experiences colored his contemporary opinions - which he wasn't shy to voice. After Frank's passing, I continued our journey on my own with the fervent hope to honor his life, albeit anonymously. I was not disappointed. At times touching recollection and at others, social commentary, I vowed to make Finding Frank his posthumous soapbox. His unconditional love for the woman he lost makes for a wonderful story, one that is all too rare and much too beautiful to let die without being told.

The ringtone carries a peculiar melody - not a personalized tune selected specifically to identify a loved one or a foe to avoid; the banal factory ring seems to convey a sense of doom.
