The Sixth Borough S7 - EP2
The Last Loop Directed by George Nelson Haunted by guilt and regret, once renowned physicist Michael Morley is on the run - desperate to reunite with his daughter, yet held captive by the consequences of his own creation. The Astromoufles Directed by David Lamarre The crew of a flying saucer investigates an unexplained cosmic phenomenon: a pizza floating in space. A short film in the vein of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Alien, but with a budget the size of a bag of empty cans, a one-person film crew, and DIY puppets. AI Jesus Directed by Ashley Billington AI Jesus is a sharp, satirical short film exploring what happens when faith collides with artificial intelligence. When a small-town Florida church gets its hands on a cutting-edge humanoid robot named Manuel Diaz, the congregation is divided. Pastor Alex welcomes Manuel as a high-tech tool to modernize the ministry, while Pastor Kevin is deeply skeptical. Manuel’s every word and gesture begin to captivate the community, blurring the line between machine and messiah. Pastors from a rival church sabotage Manuel by paying a webmaster to hack the AI Jesus - making for an unforgettable sermon.
