Greg Ogles discusses his new documentary *The Vanished*, set for a January 31, 2026 premiere, which explores two real, unsolved disappearances—not as definitive conclusions but as rigorously investigated narrative possibilities. Filmed on location across Tennessee and North Georgia in just over a week, the project involved unconventional hours, custom-built gear, and significant logistical hurdles including extreme weather, battery failures, and no running water on set. The team used high-end cameras and specialized thermal, night-vision, and full-spectrum equipment, all while prioritizing authenticity—conducting unscripted interviews and building rapport organically. Though the trailer has already generated strong buzz, the film remains about 60% complete, with post-production expected to slow toward the finish. Ogles also teases future projects, including *Return to the Land Between the Lakes* and an Oregon-based film. Alongside the film, a large-scale, family-friendly conference event is being organized—featuring speakers, vendors, contests, and free admission for kids—designed to foster community and expand the conversation beyond the screen.
