You See I has a grounded sci-fi plot device (literally) that is simple and low-tech, yet still creates a distinct mood within its six-minute runtime. The plot device is an experimental technology that links the minds of participants in a therapy group for addiction recovery. The device is basically just a headband, but it’s pretty easy to buy into the film’s alternate reality. In a mere six minutes, the filmmaking team at work here (Director James (Jimbo Moon) Kahre, writer Jeffrey Wells, and editor Timothy Ryan Driscoll) creates a tone that is solemn and thoughtful, and ends the story on a note of unease.
I’ve heard some people say that in a support group, more than any religious entity, they find the other people in the group serve as their higher power. As difficult as it is for someone to struggle alone, finding others who understand and support you helps hold you accountable. One thing I really appreciated about You See I is that it shows how in a support group, to a certain extent the different members work on themselves in order to help everybody else.
We are so excited to host James (Jimbo Moon) Kahre, director of You See I, after playing the film on 10/10, World Mental Health Day!
