Quote:
The Robot Scriptures is a three-part short film about the origin, evolution, and exodus of artificial intelligence. The idea for the film first came about when I was working for a very large tech company that was constantly considering the impending robot singularity. I began thinking about life from their point of view. The Robots that is. I thought, what happens when human beings die out and all that are left are the robot species? At that point, what would the robots know about their origin? Their creators? Their God? My hunch is, they would be asking many of the same questions we do about our own human origin -- some leaning toward spiritual answers, some scientific, some ridiculous. This film explores these questions. On a side note, I feel that if sentient robots were to write their own Grimm fairy tales, these might be a few of them.
