Franklin Ritch delivers a stunning debut The Artifice Girl, a small, intimate indie that asks BIG questions about the future of AI and continually finds exciting, thought-provoking, and startlingly human results. Imagine Shane Carruth making a hybrid of Ex Machina and The Social Network with the narrative structure of Steve Jobs, and you're in the ballpark.The Q&A with writer-director-editor-star Franklin Ritch was an absolute blast and full of wonderful info on this special little film. This film is the real deal, and well worth seeking out.
