Lost & Found


In the midst of tidying up, Darren discovers a forgotten magic drawer that teleports him to rediscovering a once lost wonder.

This was a challenging shoot as I shot most of it all on my own with the use of an automatic dolly. I wasn’t recording any audio during production, so 100% of the sound design had to be recreated in post production. 
It was a bear of a project, but the goal was to practice the execution of story with a bit of movie magic.
