In a world where found footage fans are often overlooked by mainstream platforms, FOUND emerges as a beacon for the indie horror community, promising more than just another streaming service—it’s a movement. Created by filmmakers Monica and Louie La Vella, FOUND is built on a foundation of passion, dedication, and a deep understanding of what makes these films truly resonate.
For Monica and Louie, FOUND is more than a business; it’s a mission to support and uplift fellow indie filmmakers. From developing high-budget horror films and series to bootstrapped found footage films, as filmmakers themselves, they’ve faced the struggles, triumphs, and relentless pursuit of bringing a vision to life on a shoestring budget. Now, they’re turning that experience into a platform where others can shine.
“At the heart of FOUND is our commitment to the indie horror community,” shares Monica La Vella. “We know how challenging it can be to find a place that genuinely values and promotes your work. FOUND is that place—a home for creators who want to connect with fans who truly appreciate their craft.”
FOUND offers a unique space where filmmakers can showcase their work to a passionate and engaged audience. It’s a platform that celebrates creativity, innovation, and the raw, unfiltered emotion that found footage films deliver so powerfully. And it’s not just about streaming; it’s about building a community where every filmmaker and fan feels seen, heard, and valued.
Louie La Vella adds, “We’re here to lift the indie horror community by giving them a platform that understands their needs and celebrates their creativity. FOUND is where the underdog thrives, where every film has a chance to be discovered by fans who are just as passionate as the creators themselves.”
As FOUND prepares for its October 1st launch, the anticipation is palpable. With hundreds of titles ready to stream, FOUND ORIGINALS already in development, and more titles being added regularly, FOUND is set to become the ultimate destination for horror enthusiasts and indie filmmakers alike. And with plans to bring found footage classics and new releases to the big screen through monthly theatrical events, the platform is poised to redefine how indie horror is experienced—both online and in theaters.
For the La Vellas, FOUND isn’t just a streaming service; it’s a labor of love. And for every filmmaker who has struggled to find a platform that truly gets them, FOUND is here to say, “We see you, we hear you, and we’re here to help you shine.”
