What happens when an A.I. writes a screenplay? In this two-part special, we are featuring two short films written by Benjamin, an artificial intelligence bot. Director Oscar Sharp fed it hundreds of “sci-fi” TV and movie scripts, from Predator to Solaris to Silver Linings Playbook. Benjamin then analyzed the scripts and created its own. Oscar Sharp will also be joining us to talk about his process of making these films.
