"Sunspring", a sci-fi short film starring Thomas Middleditch

Published on Jun 9, 2016


In the wake of Google's AI Go victory, filmmaker Oscar Sharp turned to his technologist collaborator Ross Goodwin to build a machine that could write screenplays. They created "Jetson" and fueled him with hundreds of sci-fi TV and movie scripts. Building a team including Thomas Middleditch, star of HBO's Silicon Valley, they gave themselves 48 hours to shoot and edit whatever Jetson decided to write.

Starring: Thomas Middleditch
Director: Oscar Sharp
Executive Producer: Walter Kortschak
