Randall Okita (The Lockpicker), an artist and filmmaker who has made a name for himself with endeavours that involve rich visual language and innovative storytelling approaches, continues to enlighten, rattle and entertain audiences in his latest film, the nail-biting and entertaining as hell home invasion shocker, See For Me.
Directed by Okita, from a script penned by Adam Yorke and Tommy Gushue, and starring visually impaired actor Skyler Davenport (Final Fantasy VII Remake, Pokemon (2019)), Jessica Parker Kennedy (“The Flash”, “Black Sails”), Laura Vandervoort (Jigsaw, Rabid), and Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy, Officer Downe), See For Me relates the tale of Sophie (Davenport), a young blind woman, house-sitting at a secluded mansion, who finds herself under invasion by thieves seeking a hidden safe. Her only means of defense is a new app her mother recommended to her called “See For Me”. It connects her to a volunteer across the country who helps her survive by seeing on her behalf. Sophie is connected to Kelly (Parker Kennedy), an army veteran who spends her days playing first-person shooter games. Sophie is forced to learn that if she’s going to survive the night, she’ll need all the help she can get.
See For Me is in cinemas and everywhere you rent movies from January 7th and SCREAM sat down with Okita and Davenport who discussed their motivations for tackling this genuinely unique take on the home invasion sub-genre and how they both look forward to working on projects that bring empowering messages to the public and lovingly changing outdated narratives along the way…
