DIVE deep into the virtual world of social media with a mystery-thriller for the digital age, as “Searching” is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on Nov. 27 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

A unique take on society’s pervasive use of technology, “Searching” is the feature film debut for writer-director Aneesh Chaganty, and writer-producer Sev Ohanian. Chaganty and Ohanian’s script constructs a new form of cinema inspired by the connection between parent and child in the Internet age.

Stopping at no lengths to find his missing daughter, a determined father, played by John Cho, explores her social media accounts, emails, pictures, videos and more to aid in the police investigation.

Cho is joined by an impressive cast including Emmy Award winner Debra Messing, Joseph Lee and Michelle La in her feature film debut.

Since winning the audience award and the Alfred P. Slogan Feature Film Prize at its Sundance debut, “Searching” has riveted audiences and critics alike. Critics call it a “groundbreaking” film in the vein of classic Hitchcock thrillers. Expertly blending innovative storytelling and modern technology, Chaganty has crafted an enthralling missing person story bookended by an endearing opening sequence and stunning conclusion.

The “Searching” Blu-ray DVD and Digital bonus features this innovative storytelling through the commentary of the director and three exclusive behind-the-scenes featurettes.
