VANISHING POINT Launch-March 29, 2010 Director Marya Spring Cordes
Into thin air…… • “Author Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days in 1926; that same year, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished for three weeks. Amelia Earhart disappeared during her 1937 round-the-world flight. Amelia was never seen again; Agatha and Aimee never spoke of what happened during their disappearances.” – written by Rob Hartmann and seen on the title page of the Vanishing Point script.
