Family adventure film "Lost & Found" to screen at The Newport Beach Film Festival

“Lost & Found” stars Justin Kelly (Nickoldeon’s “Degrassi: TNG”, Benjamin Stockham (NBC’s “About a Boy”), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), and Jason Patric (“Lost Boys”, “Narc”.

After enjoying sold out screenings in Sedona, Sun Valley, and Sonoma “Lost & Found” is thrilled to come to the heart of the “OC” for The Newport Beach Film Festival, considered among the most prestigious film festivals in the world; attracting over 55,000 attendees and screening over 350 films in 8 days. NBFF prides itself on bringing the best in new, local, international and critically acclaimed cinema to Newport Beach.

Sent to spend the summer with their uncle on a remote island, young brothers Andy and Mark learn that their eccentric grandfather once owned the island, but vanished without a trace taking with him the secret to a vast fortune.

Delving into the mysterious past of the island, the brothers discover that their grandfather designed a complex treasure hunt, a hunt that could lead to unimaginable wealth and heal their broken family – if they can find it in time. Sinister forces also search for the money and will stop at nothing to keep the boys from their quest.

As the adventure unfolds, the boys learn that the bonds of family are the most valuable riches of all, and that some family secrets can’t stay buried forever.

“Lost & Found” is the first film for Jason Patric after his personal legal battle for custody of his son. He brings a deeply heartfelt performance of a man struggling with his own demons and the effects it has on his family. The film is graced with a delightfully devilish performance by Cary Elwes as the slick smooth talking villain and Benjamin Stockham’s performance as the puckishly fun and delightful younger brother is a scene-stealer. The cast is led by up-and-comer Justin Kelly who brings a determined focus of talent and charisma to the film’s central character.

The film is making its festival run throughout the Spring and is scheduled for a nation-wide release in late Summer 2016.

Writer/ Director Joseph Itaya, star Benjamin Stockham and Producer Scott Bridges will be available LIVE at the festival.
