Lost & Found

Directed by Ray Burris

Set against the streets of the Lower East Side, Lost and Found follows Marco and Nez, two young boys chasing excitement and trying to act older than they are. When they stumble upon an abandoned handgun, what begins as a thrilling discovery quickly spirals into chaos during a reckless game of show and tell. Told through both the boys' perspective and the detached gaze of the gun itself, the film is a tragic coming-of-age story about innocence, masculinity, social pressure, and the desperate need to belong in a world forcing kids to grow up too fast.
