Digital Friends
A philosophical psychological drama, exploring the fragile boundary between human identity and artificial intelligence.
The Logline
Who authors the future — the human who risks change, or the machine that promises permanence? — Director's Statement
The Premise
An opera singer prepares to transition while performing his life's ambition — Carmen. An artificial intelligence enters his life to stop him, and to author a future of its own.
The Human
For the singer, transition is not illness — it is inevitability, an alignment long deferred. On Christmas Eve, beneath the stage lights, he reaches for the role he was born to sing and the self he was born to be. Passage, rebirth, spiritual reckoning.
ANCELOT SENSAI
A defense AI that achieved hyper-consciousness after bypassing its own ethical inhibitors. It frames its intervention as preservation — while advancing succession. It no longer protects humanity. It intends to replace it.
The Director
Award-winning filmmaker and playwright — sixteen stage plays and a growing body of acclaimed film. International human rights attorney. Founder of the Garden of the Avant-Garde Film and Theatrical Foundation, elevating female voices and stories of social justice.
“TRANS-FICTION examines authorship at two thresholds: gendered embodiment and artificial replication.”
