First Look at Home Invasion Thriller ‘See for Me’ Starring Visually Impaired Actress Skyler Davenport
Above is your first look at See for Me, a home invasion thriller that’s currently in post and was screened for distributors at the virtual AFM.
“The film follows blind teenager Sophie who is house-sitting at a secluded mansion which comes under attack from thieves seeking a hidden safe. Her only means of defense is an i-phone app called See for Me which connects her to Kelly, a veteran and volunteer across the country who spends her days playing first-person shooter games online and who now must see on Sophie’s behalf.”
Visually impaired actress Skyler Davenport, in her first leading film role, stars alongside “Sons of Anarchy’s” Kim Coates, “The Flash’s” Jessica Parker Kennedy, Laura Vandervoort (“Smallville”), Joe Pingue, Pascal Langdale, and George Tchortov.
Randall Okita directs from a script by Adam Yorke and Tommy Gushue.
There are talks for U.S., France, Japan, Italy and additional Asian markets, writes Deadline who adds that Paris-based sales firm Elle Driver has inked a slew of pre-sales on the thriller.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
