About the Movie

In this moving psychological drama, we meet Bill, an old man who wants desperately to reconnect with his estranged son, but horrifying visions and inexplicable nightmares haunt him endlessly. Bill, with the help of his wife, must unravel the mystery behind the nightmare or risk losing his son and forever remain ‘The Lost One’. Based on a true story.

Director Adam Watson was inspired by his grandfather’s plight to create The Lost One in order to spread awareness of mental disease that currently effects more than 5 million elderly Americans.

“I created The Lost One in honor of my grandfather, Bill Swaby, who witnessed true horror while alone in his house, suffering from dementia. The younger generation is so accustomed to being taken care of that they forget that they will need to take care of the older generation some day. Early stages of Alzheimer’s can be easy to overlook, it is my hope that this movie will be a reminder to audiences to take care of their elders, or even just visit that old man that’s living alone a few houses down from them. You can make a difference.”
