    It is a must see based on the trailer

    I was only able to view the trailer but from what I saw it is a heartfelt story that I wanted to learn more about. It is a clever way as it looks like the film was shot documentary style to give more of a feeling of realism and relate-ability to the family who's life was certainly centered around their abducted daughter and when the possibility of not having her around set in, the empty nest syndrome drives the couple apart. I love how resourceful the production was with a low budget and how they made the film work.

    I can not wait to see the full feature when it is released publicly. Even though the actors are not well known they have done a great job in the trailer.

    An edge of your seat thriller!

    I must say while this is not Dreams Come True Films first production it is the first time we see the amazing talents of Candy and her son Daniel as a team as their first production which they did in 2011 was done by outside help before Daniel became involved.

    This is a film that will have you guessing until the very end and keep you on the edge of your seat as it is full of twists and turns.

    I have heard through the grapevine that Dreams Come True Films may finally be getting distribution for all their films after all these years. It's got to be incredibly challenging and frustrating competing with Hollywood so I pray their dreams will become a reality soon. As a big fan, it would be fantastic to turn on Tubi one day and see these films as they deserve a much wider audience than they have had. They truly deserve to have these movies seen worldwide not just at local screenings and local premieres.

    You will not be disappointed if you watch Vanished. You will definitely need a box of tissues handy as the performance of Caitlin Smith is a real tear jerker.

    This movie is definitely a must see and I can see why it has won multiple awards including best thriller, best writing and best lead actress for Caitlin Smith who portrays the grieving mom.

    Powerful Family Drama

    Vanished is the new film from Dreams Come True Productions, and it is a superb effort from this film group. Vanished tells the powerful and gripping tale of an abduction. It is based on the book of the same title written by Candy J Beard.

    Carla and Chris Bennett had the perfect life until the day their seven year old daughter, Kimberly, was abducted in broad daylight, without a trace! All attempts to find her come up empty, leaving the community baffled. Who took young Kimberly and why? Days turn into weeks and weeks into months. Tensions begin to arise between the once happy couple as Chris blames Carla for Kimberly's abduction.

    Soon, an old classmate of Carla's will make himself a permanent fixture in her life. Suspense ensues as the viewer wonders is he there to help her pick up the pieces of her shattered life, or does he have plans of his own?

    And will Kimberly ever make it home again?

    Vanished holds your attention and have a nice pace. It is also nice to see the talented Richard Bryant (from Lifetime's Army Wives) playing the lead. Hopefully we will see more of him in the future.

    Thanks to Dreams Come True for a powerful family film that makes us all think and be fortunate for those in our lives.

    Vanished is a must see!

    Vanished tells the all to real story of a child abduction. It is based on the book written by the films director, Candy J. Beard Candy and her team are the hardest working folks out there. I had the privilege of being an extra on this film. It was my first experience being on/in a film set and I had no idea how much blood, sweat and tears go into it. Candy and her editor are very dedicated to their work, they are a couple of perfectionists and it shows in this film!

    This film is a nail biter and keeps your attention all the way to the end. The music is beautifully produced and not over powering, The entire cast are outstanding from the extras to the main characters. If you haven't yet seen this film, what are you waiting for? Add it to your watch list or, better yet, get over there and watch it now, it's a must see!
