"Vanishing Act," available as 3 x 45’/1 x 75’ & 1 x 60’, stars Kate Atkinson as Caddick (Wentworth, Jack Irish), alongside Colin Friels (Total Control, Mystery Road), Jerome Velinksy (Doctor Doctor, Love Child) and Maya Stange. Produced by Kerrie Mainwaring and Matt Ford, who also penned the drama alongside Michael Miller, and directed by Geoff Bennett.
The crime drama based on the bizarre disappearance of Australian high-roller Melissa Caddick, an Australian businesswoman who allegedly swindled her own friends and family out of millions of dollars, spending it all on designer clothes, fast cars, ski holidays and expensive real estate. Her disappearance was reported after she was questioned by detectives. Months later, Melissa’s running-shoe washes ashore on a deserted beach – with her disembodied foot inside.
