While “I See You” director Adam Randall gives credit for the film’s plot twists to screenwriter Devon Graye, he also acknowledged that getting those plot twists to work perfectly on screen required a little bit of elbow grease. “Every time you read the script and analyzed it and broke it down, you kept asking yourself, ‘How does that make sense? Surely the audience would know that!’ And then there were also moments of deep clarity like three days before the shoots where I would be like, ‘Holy sh**! This doesn’t make any sense at all. We’ve got to change it,’” the filmmaker said.
John Tenney had some more insight into Randall’s creative process, which seems to have emphasized collaboration. “Adam would sit with the actors and talk to them about their parts and about literally every line in each scene as there were things that came up because we kept bringing our perspectives to the story because we’d really been reading into our characters and discovering things that maybe he hadn’t,” said Tenney.
And even though bringing “I See You” to the screen posed a challenge to Randall, he ultimately seems to have been gratified by it creatively. “So that was really challenging, but the joy of making it was creating this puzzle and trying to envisage how the audience was going to react,” the filmmaker said. ” And then I’m hoping that people will want to go back and watch it a second time to try and spot things that maybe they didn’t notice the first time round as there are so many little misdirects in there.”
“I See You” is now streaming on Netflix.
