Progress Bar - A.I. co-written short film

Oct 30, 2018

In a near future, a woman navigates a virtual customer service call via her own avatar and digital assistant.

This film was written and directed by a human, however, LEXI's dialogue was generated by RivetAI, an artificial intelligence program.

From the producers of 2016's "A.I. scripted" viral short film, SUNSPRING: youtu.be/LY7x2Ihqjmc

PROGRESS BAR is an experiment that attempts to guide the absurdity of dialogue generated by A.I. (as seen in SUNSPRING) into a more traditional (human-written) narrative film structure.

Starring Jennifer Kim (Search Party, Mozart in the Jungle) Lucy Walters (Get Shorty, Power) and Kevin Breznahan (The Deuce, Billions)
