The movie [ Searching] is a classic thriller made in the vein of Hitchcock, but told in a decidedly contemporary way. Starring John Cho, it follows a father trying to find his missing daughter. What makes the film inventive is that it's told mainly on Cho's missing daughter's laptop screen.
[ ] calls it "edge-of-the-seat tense and enormously funny." The indie film took home two prizes from this year's Sundance film festival: the Audience Award, and the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize, for an outstanding feature about science or technology.

Cho visited CNET last week, along with co-writer and director Aneesh Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian. We discussed the insane undertaking of making a movie that takes place solely on screens and how Chaganty convinced Cho to star in it after he initially turned the role down.

Searching opens in the US and UK on Friday, Aug. 31, with an Australian release yet to be announced. Watch or listen to the full interview below.
