Following the success of Young Blood in 2012, Castle of Love wanted to continue redefining the festival aftermovie format. The challenge was to move beyond simple documentation and build on the narrative-driven approach, creating a film that felt both personal and universal while evoking the friendships and memories that festivals create.

Presented as a film by Amber & Ayme, Lost & Found invited viewers to experience Castle of Love through the lens of two characters. By blending story, atmosphere, and community, the film captured the nostalgia of friendship and the magic of being part of something bigger than oneself.

Lost & Found reinforced Castle of Love’s reputation as a festival willing to push creative boundaries. It built on the storytelling foundation laid with Young Blood while evolving the format into something more emotionally resonant, helping establish a distinct narrative voice within the Castle of Love universum.
