Satire

A darkly comedic satire where four unsuspecting contestants are thrown into a high-stakes interdimensional gambling game, only to realize their superpowers are just another illusion.

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.  The film takes aim at our culture’s eagerness to embrace new technology without fully understanding it—and the ways charisma, spectacle, and spiritual longing can be exploited. With humor, heart, and an undercurrent of unease, AI Jesus delivers a timely reflection on who we choose to follow, and why. In an era where algorithms can out-preach humans and digital personas can outshine the real thing, the story asks a provocative question: if salvation came packaged in silicon and scripture, would we even notice the difference?

AROMA-VISION is an eerie short film inspired by "The Twilight Zone," written by Adam Smith and directed by Shun Powell. The story follows Fred Jones, an unassuming Milwaukeean who is pulled into the new interactive cooking show, "Culinary Masters." Similar to "Black Mirror," the short explores the dangers of technology and how easily humans can be swayed. Produced by Liminal Vision Films and created entirely by Milwaukee-based artists, "Aroma-Vision" pays tribute to indie filmmaking and the timeless spirit of classic science fiction.

Through a humorous and satirical look at everyday situations where AI falls short, OI (Organic Intelligence) explores the enduring value of human interaction, empathy and connection beyond the technology hype.
