Shanola Hampton has been cast in the lead role of the NBC drama pilot “Found,” Variety has learned.

The one hour drama deals with the fact that, in any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. More than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about. Public relations specialist Gabi Mosley (Hampton) — who was once herself one of those forgotten ones — and her crisis management team now make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.

Hampton will also serve as a producer on “Found” in addition to starring. The series hails from writer and executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll, who executive produces via Rock My Soul Productions. Lindsay Dunn of Rock My Soul also executive produces along with Greg Berlanti,...

"Charlie, there's something you should know..." "I trusted you!" Blue Fox has released an official trailer for an indie mystery thriller titled Through the Glass Darkly, marking the feature debut of producer Lauren Fash. This first premiered at the San Diego Film Festival last year, and also played at the Red Rock Film Fest, arriving on VOD in September. Set in a small town in Georgia called Elrod, the film is described as an "offbeat Southern Gothic thriller." A year after a girl disappears, another goes missing. Convinced there is a connection, Charlie draws suspicion and contempt from local police & townspeople as she stops at nothing to expose its most devastating and darkest secret. Robyn Lively stars, with Michael Trucco, Shanola Hampton, Katrina Norman, Judith Ivey, Bethany Anne Lind, Kerry Cahill, Nicholas Logan, and Vince Foster. This looks quite intense, overloading on suspense and dread to tell this story of dark secrets.

Stars: Marci Miller, Jason Tobias, Danny Ruiz, Cece Kelly, Susan Moore Harmon, Justin Dray, James Schuler, Denver Isaac, Ivana Rojas | Written and Directed by Geoff Reisner, Jason Tobias

Familiar psychological thriller tropes are infused with strong doses of social commentary in Lauren Fash’s debut feature, which recently received its world premiere at the Frameline Film Festival. Depicting a woman’s efforts to find her missing child, Through the Glass Darkly occasionally gets lost in its own murkiness. But the film ultimately proves an engrossing and decidedly offbeat 1990s-set suspenser, distinguished by Robyn Lively’s superb performance in the lead role.
