"Searching" for what's "Missing" with Sev Ohanian

Screenwriting: From the Trenches

This week Rob interviews producer Sev Ohanian, producer of the film "Missing" who also co-wrote the film’s predecessor, "Searching". In it, we talk about the charges against Alec Baldwin for the shooting on the set of the film Rust, whether these screen movies qualify as "found footage", the return of the whodunnit genre, and what brought Sev and his partner to this sequel (after saying previously they wouldn't do one).

Our Weekly Resource: The Official Wakanda Forever Companion Podcast. Produced by the company Sev co-founded, Proximity Media, this podcast offers not just a behind-the-scenes look at the making at one of the biggest movies of 2022, but also dives deep to give real heart and context to the making of this film in the wake of the death of the franchise's star, Chadwick Boseman. Hosted by Ta-Nehisi Coates, this is a wonderful podcast not only if you're a fan of the film, but if you're a fan of stories about how movies get made.
