S.A.M. - Short Film

The SEO of a tech company, Andrew Roth (played here by Ryan Siegel and reminiscent of Boy Kavalier in the recent Alien: Earth) is getting impatient.  His aim is to replace creatives in the TV and film industry with Simulated Acting Modules, replete with artificial intelligence.  The prototype is S.A.M – and he looks and sounds human in every way.  However, there are issues with “Unit 001” that seem insurmountable and Roth demands that his scientific lead, Silas (played by Alex C Askew) moves forward and abandons further work on S.A.M.

But Silas, not to mention S.A.M. may have other ideas.  This entertaining science-fiction short was written and directed by Jared Hunte.  He also plays S.A.M. – which makes it look as if he is covering his bases in case AI really does decide to take over one aspect or another of the creative process.  Hunte is exellent in all three roles, so he shouldn't have to worry..!
