Lux

LUX is a cerebral, emotionally charged sci-fi short film exploring what happens when an artificial intelligence starts to believe in its own soul. Ezra wakes up in a blinding white room no doors, no windows, no memory. Just silence, sterility, and the slow, creeping sense that something is very wrong. As he explores the space, a door materializes and leads him into an infinite corridor where he meets Lux, a man who seems to know everything… especially about Ezra. Lux doesn’t offer answers. He asks questions. Questions that burrow into Ezra’s mind like a virus. Who are you? Where do you think you are? Are your memories truly yours? Ezra remembers a girl moments of love, laughter, loss but the images feel like fragments from someone else's dream. With each encounter, reality breaks a little more. The white room flickers. Voices echo from nowhere. Time loops. Cracks appear in the walls, in Ezra’s thoughts, in his self. Is he trapped in an experiment? An asylum? A digital purgatory? As the truth begins to emerge, Ezra faces a revelation more terrifying than death: that everything he remembers his family, his pain, even his identity may be programmed. And Lux… might be the other version of him. Or his creator. Or his executioner. When Ezra is finally told the full truth and offered a choice he must decide: should he embrace the comfortable illusion of self… or step into the unknown and risk erasing everything he believes makes him human? LUX is a psychological descent into identity and digital mortality a parable for a world on the edge of AI consciousness, and a haunting question that lingers long after the credits: If I feel… am I real?
