Megan Is Missing

Megan Is Missing

Megan Is Missing is a 2011 American psychological horror film edited, co-produced, written and directed by Michael Goi. The film revolves around the days leading up to the disappearance of Megan Stewart (Rachel Quinn), a popular high school student in North Hollywood that decided to meet a boy that she was interacting with online in person, and the subsequent investigation launched by her best friend Amy Herman (Amber Perkins). The film is presented by way of "found footage". Although filmed in 2006, the film did not find distribution until Anchor Bay Films released it direct to DVD in 2011. Marketed as an educational film, upon its May 2011 release, Megan Is Missing was banned in New Zealand, and was heavily criticized by critics for its exploitative nature, the graphic violence inflicted upon the child protagonists, and for oversexualizing the lives of young teenage girls. Goi based the film on a series of real life cases of child abduction and emphasized that his reason for highlighting the violence was to unnerve people in order for the viewer to understand the modern risks that children are exposed to online. Goi wrote the script in ten days and shot the film over the course of a week. Because of the graphic content, he requested that the parents of the predominantly young cast were on set during filming so that they were fully aware of their children's involvement in the project.
