I'M NOT A ROBOT: From CAPTCHA Fail to Oscar Win with Filmmakers Victoria Warmerdam & Trent


Listen Later

Defying expectations of being the longshot nominee as the lone genre piece competing for the 2025 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film by triumphantly taking home the Oscar last Sunday, ‘I’m Not a Robot’ is a delightfully entertaining blend of sci-fi, dark comedy, and existential drama that doesn’t go where you expect. DN sat down with writer/director Victoria Warmerdam & producer Trent a couple weeks before the ceremony for a SPOILER filled discussion about the making of their CAPTCHA inspired Oscar winning short.
