DIRECTOR IN ATTENDANCE!

“Have You Seen Andy?” is the Emmy-winning personal story of a childhood friendship abruptly ended by the tragic abduction of a young boy. On a hot summer day in August 1976, ten year-old Andy Puglisi was playing along with dozens of other children at the Higgins Memorial Pool in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Then suddenly, he disappeared. Twenty-two years later, filmmaker Melanie Perkins, Andy’s childhood friend, begins her search for answers in this feature-length documentary.

Director Melanie Perkins will be on-hand to conduct a Q&A after the film.

“An absorbing, often tormenting glimpse at the mystery surrounding an unspeakable crime whose reverberations live on.” -Ray Richmond, The Hollywood Reporter

“A distinguished contribution to the true-crime genre…the loving testament of a woman who never allowed herself to forget her ill-fated playmate.” -Tim Page, The Washington Post

“…truly terrifying…” -Tenley Woodman, The Boston Herald

  1. Melanie I believe we were classmates and friends at FSC.
    You may recall a party where the girls would not let us use the ladies room and my brother John was also there… do you recall us?

  2. I saw this movie long before I saw the connection with us and I loved it!! I am from Amesbury and was very interested in the outcome as well as the lack of response that this case heralded!

  3. Hello my name is jasmine turner and I live in Australia. I have just now watched this. I have an 8 month old son so the connection was very raw and painful to me. I am honored and privileged to of seen this. It is a spectacle of respect, love and dedication. You are an inspiration. I dont know Andy or his family, but the gift of perseverance you gave them I’m sure will forever be cherished. I will carry the memory of Andy and his story with me for the rest of my life. His memory will live on even over here in Australia:-)
