What can we do with an app? We can scroll and double-tap, but See For Me takes it to a new level and gives new meaning to putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. The film follows the visually impaired Sophie (Skyler Davenport), house-sitting at a secluded mansion, who becomes the target of a home invasion. With the help of the “See For Me” app, Sophie is connected to Kelly (Jessica Parker Kennedy), a volunteer across the country who helps her survive by seeing on her behalf.
See For Me is Randall Okita’s feature debut, Okita also created the VR experience “The Book of Distance” which was at Sundance, Venice, Tribeca. Visually impaired actor Skyler Davenport looks forward to working on projects that bring empowering messages to the public, and lovingly changing outdated narratives along the way.
Check out a sneak peek at this exclusive clip below. Sophie uses the app to call Kelly for help as the home invaders descend upon the mansion.
See For Me is now available on digital platforms and on demand from IFC Midnight, click below to stream now.
