Like whispers on the (digital) wind, we’d heard talk about this little indie gem and just how good it was. When we finally got to see it, THE ARTIFICE GIRL did not disappoint. A truly special piece of cinema.
A team of special agents discovers a revolutionary new computer program to bait and trap online predators. After teaming up with the program’s troubled developer, they soon find that the AI is rapidly advancing beyond its original purpose.
“The Artifice Girl is engaging & compelling, bolstered by stellar performances from its cast & exceeds where other AI-focused stories might falter.” – Mae Abdulbaki, Screen Rant
“A stellar sci-fi drama as compelling as it is provocative, The Artifice Girl explores the intersection of AI and human ethics — treading into profound philosophical considerations regarding the value of existence and what it means to be happy.” – Stephanie Malone, Morbidly Beautiful
