Roko
Created for the Film Riot and Filmstro One Minute Short Film Competition. Roko is a short film based on the philosophical concept of Roko’s Basilisk, a very real concept dealing with the repercussions surrounding virtual worlds and artificial intelligence.

I'm sorry.
I was inspired to create this short for the Film Riot One Minute short film competition, even though it has been a concept that I've been toying with the best way of executing for a while now. It is a topic that deserves more than one minute to explore the full reality and repercussions contained within.
Watch it in 4k with the volume turned up!
