About Found Media
Found Media produces documentary films and video projects for research-driven and mission-driven organizations. Founded by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Adam Booher and based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, our partners come to us from across the US, and work in every corner of the world.
Clients choose us because we are reliable partners: empathetic listeners, creative problem-solvers, and technically capable filmmakers who understand the demands of serious institutions. We specialize in communicating complex ideas through well-crafted narratives and clear, credible video—films that communicate clearly, capture character, and allow people and organizations to be seen at their best.
It's complex.
That's the work.
Most projects begin before the questions are fully formed. We often join early—helping teams think through what needs to be explained, who it’s for, and how film might serve the work. Let's get started.
