| Find "Searching" in Theaters |
Along as voyeurs, audiences can expect an amplified version of the discomfort we experience when we find unexpected manifestations of the unknown and perceive some distinctive yet unidentifiable threat. This can happen to us anywhere, but in "Searching" we're taken deeper into the void of fear we experience when the unknown pops at us from our computer screens.
Also, for David, the waking nightmare involves one of the greatest tragedies: losing a child . . . more, losing them to the unknown. In realization of his new, personalized reality, Margot's father cannot avoid the dive into a new, unfamiliar dimension to find her.
Specifically, Searching was scripted and designed to play on that version of ourselves that deals with technology on a fairly consistent basis, and turns this world upside down. The toppled dynamic of this dark-web whodunit began as early as drafting the script, where the writers presented a "scriptment" to better illustrate the production requirements of theme and event translation to the final product, the movie . . . as reported by Mekado Murphy via the New York Times.
Considering that most everyone can appreciate the need for a bigger screen when working and playing online, we suggest that audiences enjoy the intellectual dark-web thriller in theaters before it's gone.
