A single mother, Helen, is mourning the loss of her teenage son, Logan, now completely given up the hope of his return. That night, a mysterious stranger rings on her doorbell - it is Logan. Or is it? Starring Chloe Crawford and Matias Pinto, this was my very first narrative film that allowed me to put my creativity and visual eye to full use.

Found. follows Helen, a grieving mother who has emotionally shut down in the wake of her son Logan’s disappearance. Her life has fallen into disarray — her home is cluttered, she avoids phone calls, and she's consumed by the background noise of her TV. One night, a man appears at her door who looks like Logan — not quite the same, thinner, darker, and disturbingly unblinking — but close enough to stir something deep in her. Despite the unease, Helen invites him in, desperate for connection and some form of closure.

​

As she attempts to reconnect with this man she believes to be her son, the audience watches the tension build in subtle, eerie ways. The man never speaks, never blinks, and watches Helen with a haunting stillness. When a long-ignored phone call finally breaks through the silence, a distorted voice on the other end updates Helen on Logan’s missing person case — just as she begins to realize the man beside her isn’t her son. In the final, unsettling twist, we see Helen placing her own MISSING poster on a pole the next morning, suggesting that the creature who appeared at her door has now taken her place — just as it did Logan’s.

Throughout both PMP projects, I faced a range of challenges—from unpredictable circumstances and broken gear to communication breakdowns with team members.

​

On Found., I took on the Producer role while the director was overseas, which pushed me to handle permits, scheduling, and organizing the shoot with limited help.

When my partner failed to complete their share of the editing, I pulled an all-nighter and finished the film on my own. It wasn’t ideal, but it taught me how to lead under pressure, set boundaries, and take ownership.

​

These experiences helped me grow not just as a filmmaker, but as a team member who can handle high-pressure situations with accountability and drive.
