"Found" is the story of an innocent teenage boy raised up in the Appalachian Mountains on a small old fashioned homestead devoid of modern conveniences and tucked away from the broader culture at large. Through a sudden tragedy, he suddenly finds himself cast out, alone and adrift into our high-speed, hi-tech modern world until he meets a troubled family who takes him into their home for better or for worse. What he learns about himself and what others around him discover about themselves brings new meaning to the phrase "testing your faith" (James 1:2-4).
Acting
Joseph Stam's wide-eyed stillness cuts through every scene.
Production
The homestead feels genuinely lived-in, not Pinterest-rustic.
Director
David Alford
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film quietly inverts typical Christian cinema: the 'saved' character isn't the one who finds Jesus, but the one who makes others examine their own hollow faith. Finch never preaches; he simply exists.
Director David Alford is also a playwright, and it shows in the theatrical intimacy of the Brennan dinner scenes — reportedly shot in a single 14-minute take that was later trimmed.
