The Cast of "Search" Breaks Down Inventive Thriller
Debra Messing, John Cho, and director Aneesh Chaganty talk to Cheddar at the Sundance Film Festival about their new thriller "Search." The film follows a father looking for his lost daughter through various means of technology. The majority of the movie takes place on a laptop screen.
Chaganty says the movie took a year and a half to edit, whereas a typical movie only takes about four months. Cho and Messing were both intrigued by the film's unique storytelling angle and wanted to see if they could pull it off.
Messing, who plays a detective, did a deep dive on California missing person cases to prepare for the role. Cho says he is less technologically challenged as a result of his part.
