Some Things Found
Made in collaboration with the 2023 'Doc in a Day' competition, 'Some Things Found' was devised, shot and edited in 36 Hours, with the subject matter of 'Purpose'.
We invited friends and family to contribute voice notes answering the questions: ‘What were you looking for when you moved to London, and do you think you’ve found it yet?’
The film demonstrates the diversity of the answers we received, both celebrating London’s endless opportunities and possibilities, while investigating it’s lonelier side.
