Missing Interview: Nia Long Applauds Storm Reid, and Reid's Mom
22The Searching follow-up film, Missing, flips the original concept. Whereas Searching saw John Cho’s character looking for his missing daughter using the tools available to him on his computer, Missing has Storm Reid’s June trying to track down her mother, Grace played by Nia Long.
In the latest screen thriller from producing trio Aneesh Chaganty (director of Searching), Natalie Qasabian, and Sev Ohanian, Reid’s June is a typical teenager who doesn’t appreciate her mother always checking in and often leaves text messages unanswered. June experiences that digital radio silence herself when Grace takes a trip to Colombia with her new boyfriend and never returns. June tries to use the proper channels for help, but when an abundance of international red tape becomes a detrimental roadblock, June takes matters into her own hands and turns to everyday apps, websites, and other online resources to figure out what happened to her mother.
With Missing hitting theaters nationwide on January 20th, I got the chance to chat with Long about her experience being part of the highly unique production process required to make a screen thriller.
