Lost & Found Films is a Brooklyn-based production company that creates character-driven documentaries that explore the overlooked and the nearly forgotten— the quiet beauty, wisdom, and nuance hiding in plain sight. We’re drawn to slowing things down, making space to breathe and see what’s truly there—the stories and little details that often slip by in the rush of everyday life.

Founded in 2009 by David Usui and Ben Wu, Lost & Found produces documentaries as well as commercial work with brands, ad agencies, broadcasters and NGOs.

Our documentary, In Transit that we co-directed with acclaimed filmmaker Albert Maysles, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won the Special Jury Prize.

Our previous clients include the NY Times, the New Yorker, Wired, the Atlantic Monthly, Wallpaper, Food+Wine, VICE and GOOD magazine. Our commercial work has included campaigns with Sony, Pepsi, Nike, Lexus, MoMA, Spotify, Mercedes-Benz, Sotheby's, Chase, Martha Stewart Living and the Obama 2012 Campaign.
