I felt relieved. To know that the message, or at least what I wanted to project, was actually landing on a conscious level, And that it scored an emotional response. I couldn’t be a happier filmmaker.

Interview with Writer/Director Jon Silverberg (DISAPPEARED)

I was very pleased to hear people really understand the twists and turns of film, the conflict of the lead character, and the desire to see what was on ‘the other side’.
