Monument Motion Picture Announces Sequel Following THE VANISHING VIP Screening

ATLANTA, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Monument Motion Picture LLC hosted a highly successful VIP Screening of THE VANISHING: The 60-Year Unsolved Disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little at SCADshow in Atlanta. The 1:30 PM screening drew a full house and concluded with a compelling audience Q&A session that reignited public interest in one of Atlanta's most enduring unsolved mysteries.

"The response to THE VANISHING reaffirmed why we do this work," said Steve K. Kendrick, CEO and Producer of Monument Motion Picture. "These women deserve answers, and audiences are clearly hungry for truth, accountability, and justice."

During the event, Kendrick announced the company's upcoming sequel documentary, DIANE SHIELDS — slated for release in 2026. The new film will present compelling evidence that the same perpetrators responsible for the disappearance of Mary Shotwell Little were also involved in the murder of Diane Shields, pointing to connections within the bank where both women were employed at the time of their cases.

Both THE VANISHING and DIANE SHIELDS underscore Monument Motion Picture's ongoing mission to raise awareness of crimes against women and to amplify the voices of victims whose stories have too often been forgotten.

Monument Motion Picture also confirmed that preparations are underway for expanded digital distribution, with dedicated streaming and viewing options currently in development. Details regarding access, availability, and release formats will be announced in the coming weeks.

The screening underscored the studio's commitment to uncovering truth, honoring victims, and fostering meaningful dialogue about justice through the power of independent film.
