Film Synopsis

Eric, an 11-year old boy who recently lost his father, confronts a homeless veteran named Max in a park. Despite his formidable appearance, Max is quite friendly and they quickly form a unique bond. Max, a former college instructor, teaches Eric valuable life lessons through ancient Greek philosophy. But Max’s sever mental health issues soon jeopardizes their friendship.

Tone & Style

Found is a heartfelt dramatic story about courage, acceptance, and human interaction while exploring homelessness, mental health, and social degradation. The film draws a fine line between reality and delusion as it relates to mental health.

 

The visions that haunt Max are at the forefront of the story. The tone is somber and suspenseful despite being shot outdoors in daylight.

 

The style is expressionistic, focusing on visual cues to express the emotional experiences of Max’s chaotic world and Eric’s apprehension.
