Synopsis/Details
In a not so far future, automatons physically identical to people have become as useful of a tool as the iPhone. Basically, everyone has their own servant. Before becoming a pastor, always optimistic Adam Truman, was a child prodigy in robotics working directly with the leading automaton tech company CEO Kevin Paulson. Kevin believes he has created true artificial intelligence but needs Adam’s expertise to be sure. Adam doesn’t believe an artificial consciousness is possible but agrees to meet with the cynical Evelyn, the supposed artificially intelligent android. Impressed with her advanced AI, he agrees to spend time with her, testing her, to determine if she is really conscious or just running a bunch of code mimicking awareness. Over the months that follow, both develop feelings for the other. In a test gone horribly wrong, Adam ends up getting shot in the torso and bleeds BLUE BLOOD. He was the automaton all along. Evelyn has been the one testing him. Convinced that a true AI is too dangerous to exist, Kevin realizes he must eliminate the threat causing Adam and Evelyn to run for their lives...whether their lives are real or not is another question…

Since I was responsible for making these shorts, I had to learn to work a camera, light, sound, etc and I was fascinated by it all. I've since worked on countless sets of all sizes in several different departments (camera, electric, grip, production… Go to bio
