The film explores relevant themes of collective grief and finding hope in challenging times.
Jon M. Chu & Jill Culton ’s Dr. Seuss Pic ‘Oh, The Places You’ll Go!’ Gets Release Date. The film, which is making its world premiere tonight at Sundance in the Midnight Section at the Library Center Theater, reteams Deol with filmmaker Meera Menon. Deol plays Vinta , a snarky post-apocalyptic podcast host, who is hiding her fear behind an armor of ironic distance. Rabid “biters” roam the Earth, and Vinita’s dwindling audience — including her traumatized siblings — live in quarantine.
When her philandering ex Vincent (George Basil) suddenly arrives clutching a baby, Vinita’s armor begins to crack. The pic pays great homage to the zombie canon of George Romero.While she’s a 2011 News and Documentary Emmy nominee in the category of Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Research for the half hour “She wanted to make a movie and design it around someone who was a comedian and design something that had a lot of colors and space and a South Asian family,” says Deol who worked with the filmmaker on building her character off an outline. Deol says that the horror movie speaks to “this moment when we as a society have really struggled with collective grief, the collective grief of Covid, the collective grief of a pandemic, and now the fires in Los Angeles. We’re dealing with a lot of grief as a nation.” How do we handle it? How do we move on? And there’s something really current about that and I really hope it speaks to people.” We also speak with Deol about the pipeline for diverse comedians and breaking down barriers in a fear-based industry. “As a comedian, I know so many incredibly talented people who are on the internet, who you can check out,” she explains, “Everyone is responsible for building their own brand before they matriculate now as opposed to necessarily getting shots.” “I understand it’s a fear-based business, because so many people are afraid of losing their jobs,” Deol says.“My heart hopes that people especially executives and network people are allowed in their jobs to take risks and not be punished for that. Because if you can swing hard, that’s how you can hit the fences
