Executive produced by Fielder, How To…With John Wilson is a half-hour, first-person documentary series hosted by an anxious New Yorker (Wilson) who attempts to give everyday advice while dealing with his own personal issues. Acting as both cameraman and narrator, he covertly documents the lives of fellow New Yorkers in a comic odyssey of self-discovery, inevitably making the audience comfortable with the awkward contradictions of modern life.
Wilson, a lo-fi documentarian based in New York City, serves as the writer, director, narrator, and executive producer for the series. Wilson’s diaristic images of the city offer commentary on the anxieties and contradictions of modern life. Clark Reinking (Nathan For You) will also serve as executive producer.
