The Prime Burger

Tucked away in the shadows of St Patrick's Cathedral in midtown Manhattan lies Prime Burger, an understated, yet steadfast burger institution, circa 1938. 

Take a few minutes to visit with the people who work there. 

This is part of the "This Must be the Place" series, produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui, of Lost & Found Films.

Helen Mirren at MOMA

In a doco made by Lost & Found Films, Helen Mirren speaks about her relationship with art and the work of Vasily Kandinsky, her father, story-telling, beauty, acting, and the Museum of Modern Art.

How close should one stand to a painting in a gallery?

And why does she make museum guards nervous?

The High Line

The High Line is a short documentary film, commissioned by Wallpaper* Magazine. It tells the story of the High Line Park in New York City.

The High Line Park is an abandoned elevated railway line, recycled into an urban park, which runs from the Meatpacking District, through the neighborhood of Chelsea, to the West Side Yard.

The film was made by Lost & Found Films.

"This Must Be the Place"

This Must Be the Place is a webseries produced and directed by Ben Wu and David Usui, of Lost & Found Films.

There's no place like home. It's where we live, work and dream. It's our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It can be just for the night or for the rest of our lives. But whoever we may be, we all have a place we call home.

This Must Be the Place is a series of short films that explore the idea of home; what makes them, how they represent us, why we need them. 

It might be the repressed hippie in me, but I like this short story.
