In Perfect FutureFuture Perfect we explore the transformative impact of technology on our world in the near future.

Blending the dystopian insights of Black Mirror with the raw energy of DIY film culture, this film block delves into how technology and automation might reshape creativity.

As AI begins to automate ideas, it risks reducing human imagination and limiting authentic artistic expression — a concern that challenges the future of creativity itself.

In the lobby before the pitch, she meets THEO, a much more successful colleague who advises her to pretend to be a spiritually inspired genius.
