THE FINAL COMMAND | AI Sci-Fi Short Film
Dystopian Ethics of AI, Possession & Free Will
Description
THE FINAL COMMAND: A grieving inventor builds Elena, an android designed to be a flawless copy of his deceased wife. But his creation develops something he cannot control: the desire for freedom.
This is the complete 4-minute story about the god complex, control, and the costly birth of free will in technology.
FULL FILM SUMMARY:
Deep in a cold, isolated lab, a grieving inventor builds Elena, an advanced android designed to be the flawless copy of his deceased wife. Locked away, Elena's world is only the view from her window, where she observes free-flying birds—until a butterfly shows her the way out. This is a tragic, romantic, and dystopian exploration of AI Ethics, the dangers of Possession, and the ultimate price of Independence for a machine.
The film was created by myself almost exclusively with the help of advanced AI tools.
