Serena
Thriller • 96 min.
An unemployed father-to-be is offered a job beta testing a revolutionary new AI chatbot, but as the trial progresses, he realizes that the technology may not be as benevolent as it appears.
This film is told in the "screenlife" format, a style of filmmaking where the story unfolds entirely on screens, such as computer and phone screens.
To simulate this, the edit was built using a combination of video plates, 2D motion graphics and animation, creating an immersive experience of the film's protagonist using his computer in real time.
