Director Statement

"Found" is a film meant for the disenfranchised of today's world. By uniting two outsiders and hashing out their demons together one learns that every individual - no matter their background or societal upbringing - is privy to insecurity. It teaches one that in order to get through the harsh realities of life one must simply share and relate to one another. It is by passing down each other's traumas that one can truly grow and gain trust for all living things, including themselves.
