Missing Child is an American neo-noir psychological thriller film directed and co-written by Luke Sabis, and produced by 9W Productions.
Having never met her natural parents, Gia was raised in foster care where she experienced physical and sexual abuse as a young girl, which lead to many unhealthy experiences and relationships in her teenage years.
Gia's goals are interrupted when she discovers, through her boyfriend Joe, an age-progressed photo of a missing child, who she resembles.
They awaken to see Henry sitting nearby in a rocking chair, viewing them with disgust.
With a shotgun in his hands, he stands over Joe, condemning him for trying to make Henry believe Gia is his daughter.
According to Sabis, something that the characters of Gia and Henry share is a certain level of discomfort in dealing with silence.
Originally, Director Luke Sabis had planned not to have any scored music in the film.
[9] He wanted the background sounds of the TV and radio to be the score for these troubled characters.
Not having the budget to hire someone, Director Sabis fell back on his own musical background, (playing in rock bands earlier in his life) and wrote and performed the score himself.
The intention of the scored music was to accentuate the internal emotional lives of Gia and Henry.
