"Found wandering lost" is set deep within the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas. Trent (Kyle Dyck) involves his girlfriend Allison (Jennifer Seward) into the mess he created himself. Trent is desperately on the run from contract killers Henry (Brian Paulette) and Tim (Davis DeRock). Along the way Trent stumbles upon Ben (Jeffrey Staab), a wandering drifter who now calls these roads "home". Two amazing things to start with. The first one being the fact that this movie was realized with a budget of only USD 24k. The second and most important fact is Nicholaus James. He is a first-time director here, responsible for the writing, the story, the screenplay, the editing while also being the executive producer and director of photography. He is also an actor in this movie (the truck driver who stops when Ben is hitchhiking). And he managed to pull this off with a budget of USD 24.000! Getting these facts straight, now you can judge this movie. I just loved the dialogues between Henry and Tim. In fact all the dialogues were well written and executed. The sound effects and visual effects are amazing (keep in mind the budget!). On top of that the cinematography was astonishing and the drone shots were well edited. And also filming with a Gopro and a panasonic gh4 camera on top of the other amazing facts? I cannot wrap my head around this. The acting performance of Kyle Dyck (Trent) was good and exceptional performances of Jeffrey Staab (Ben), Brian Paulette (Henry) and Davis DeRock (Tim). The movie is not fast paced but I loved the plot and storyline. I hope we will get to see more of Nicholaus James very soon! Do not skip this one, watch it and judge yourself.
