The result of over five years of Super-8 and 16mm filming on New York City streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative into a complex meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled with obsessive listings of places, objects, and incidents.

The project stems from the filmmaker's first job in New York—working as a pushcart vendor on Canal Street.
