John Cho uses modernistic technical school to find his drop daughter in the house trailer forSearching . Aneesh Chaganty ’s feature film directing debut picked up a couple of major awards at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year , let in the good of Next ! Audience Award . Sony and Screen Gems are turn the movie in theaters this summer and are getting the first major moving ridge of marketing underway now , for that reason .
compose by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian ( who producedBlack Pantherdirector Ryan Coogler ’s first appearance film , Fruitvale Station),Searchingrevolves around David Kim ( Cho ) , a sire who goes search for his daughter Margot ( Michelle La ) after she inexplicably vaporize one day .

Speaking toEWfrom the set ofThe Grudgereboot ( which he is currently filming ) , Cho describesSearchingas being"incredibly emotional"for him because - among other things - it show a"complete"Asian - American family onscreen , without their race being a primal issue . EWfurther has the exclusive on the firstSearchingtrailer , which you may watch in the space below .
Searchingis similar to Universal ’s 2015 horror / thrillerUnfriendedin that both films represent out through monitor lizard and screens within the screen door . However , whereasUnfriendedis a " found footage " film that unfold entirely through laptop computer screen , Searching ’s tale is told through a change of modern communicating devices . TheSearchingtrailer show as much and includes footage from not only Margot and David ’s computer laptops , but also security measures camera , TV screen , and other related gadget .
In some ways , Searchingbears a stronger resemblance toChroniclethanUnfriendedin the way it uses different communication technical school to distinguish its tarradiddle . Chaganty ’s film also resemblesChroniclein the sense that it ’s a familiar genre movie ( here , a kidnapping mystery thriller ) brought to life in an experimental elbow room , for better reflect the world today . There ’s a riskSearchingwill derive off as heavily - handed in its method acting , but other reactions to the film suggest that wo n’t be the case . Here ’s to hoping the picture find an audience then , when it premieres over the ( rather busy ) first weekend of August .
