Monument Motion Picture will host a free VIP screening of THE VANISHING: The 60-Year Unsolved Disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at SCADshow in Midtown Atlanta. The one-hour documentary revisits one of the city’s most unsettling cold cases on its 60-year anniversary, reframing the investigation through a modern lens on justice and crimes against women.
Working alongside veteran filmmakers, SCAD students contributed across camera, art direction, wardrobe, props, and production support to help authentically portray 1965 Atlanta. Director/Producer William VanDerKloot chose to partner with SCAD based on his long-time industry relationship with Danya Levine, Director, SCAD Film Studios ATL. From sourcing era-accurate details to choreographing key beats of the disappearance timeline, the collaboration emphasized rigor, safety, and respect for the real people at the heart of the story.
The screening will be followed by a live, in-theatre Q&A with the filmmakers and creative team.
