This document outlines a short film project titled "Found by You". The film tells the story of Nicole, a student in her early twenties keeping her relationship with Lia, a bar singer, a secret. Nicole must decide if she's ready to come out to her disapproving mother and risk damaging their relationship further. The document discusses the filmmaker's role as editor and assistant director, why the story resonates with them, inspirations like Tarantino, planned visual style using techniques like L-cuts and cross-cutting, aiming for LGBTQ and family audiences, and production process with casting in January and low budget.
