“Found Footage Finds” is a docuseries created by Chris Vander Kaay about “found footage” films. The examination of those films along with interviews with some of the filmmakers is a lovely deep dive into a fun, niche movie genre.
He talks about how him making his own found footage feature, “.ask”, led to wanting to create a documentary about the genre, which in turn led to doing a docuseries because there was just so many movies are in this genre, with more continuing to come out every month.
The topics for the 5-episode Season 1 are: Bigfoot, Screenlife, Zombies, Into the Woods, Reality TV & News Casts. Future episode topics will likely touch upon UFOs & Aliens, Paranormal Investigations, and Killers & Cameras, with more topics ready to be examined.
We also take a side tangent into lamenting how many films and shows are being lost to time because they were never released on physical media. Yeah, we’re movie fans.
Found Footage Finds is a docuseries presented in found footage style that explores the vast and varied history of found footage filmmaking, sharing hidden gems and forgotten titles, and getting behind-the-scenes stories of many of these films from interviews with the filmmakers themselves.
The Season 1 finale airs June 25, on Found TV
