Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris is back in commercial directing mode for investment company Wealthsimple, turning the camera on Hollywood creators Aubrey Plaza, Alex Karpovsky, Brian Tyree Henry and Mark Duplass to capture them talking about their money smarts or, more to the point, their complete cluelessness on the topic.

Plaza, a frequent advertising, TV and indie film star, didn’t learn anything about finance from her father, even though he’s in the business, she says during one of the digital spots, guessing that the old man is “a stockbroker?” She’s not sure.
