    Shot primarily over the summer in San Diego, Los Angeles and Armenia,
    Lost and Found is the story of an American named Bill who vacations in
    Turkey to try and recover from a recent breakup. A bungled parasailing
    trip lands him in a small Armenian town where he~Rs mistaken for
    a Turkish spy by its residents, labeled as missing, and soon finds
    himself falling for an Armenian woman. In the film, Bill is the son
    of a U.S. senator. Well-known Armenian-American lawyer Mark Geragos
    makes an appearance, negotiating with Turkey on behalf of the senator
    and his son.

    ~SThere is an effort going on to establish a professional film business
    there as a way to get people outside the country to think of Armenia,~T
    McCaffrey told Public Radio of Armenia. ~SThis will be the first
    production where we are having American and Armenian actors together.

    I hope this helps put Armenia on the map so more people know where
    it is.~T

    McCaffrey, whose maiden name is Boolootian, grew up in a large Armenian
    family in Fresno. She has worked as a casting director and producer
    for television and film for 30 years. Some of her projects include
    Soul Assassin, American History X, Babe and Problem Child.

    Yerevan-born Kirakosian co-wrote and directed the film Big Story in a
    Small City, which was widely acclaimed at multiple film festivals. He

    entertainment market, which have aired worldwide.

    Djerejian, who was raised in Beirut, has worked on such films as
