Can I Get a Witness Interview: A Cannibalistic Satire Inspired Sandra Oh's New Movie
12Ann Marie Fleming poses a provocative thought experiment about what we would be willing to sacrifice for the environment's protection through the dystopian world built in Can I Get a Witness? Set in the near future, this environmental science fiction film depicts a world that is recovering from overpopulation and a lack of resources. Their solution is to prohibit and limit the use of technology and also disallow anyone from living over the age of 50. In this introspective mix of live-action and animation, Kiah, played by Keira Jang, starts her job as a "Documenter," where her artistic skills are used to capture the "dying ceremony." Alongside Joel Oulette and actress and producer Sandra Oh, Jang gives a mesmerizing performance as she demonstrates Kiah's struggle to cope with the moral implications of her job and her world.
The film premiered at this year's Toronto International Film Festival where Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Fleming, Jang, Oulette, and Oh to discuss the inspirations behind this film and their experience shooting such poignant content. Oh also reminisces about meeting Fleming for the first time and reveals why she's choosing to produce more lately.
