Desc: Early Stage: Directed by Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman. With Ashley Rae Spillers, Ellie Reed, David Lee Hess, DeMorge Brown. An anthology film about the inner life of emergent, self-aware A.I. networks, Early Stage's nine vignettes embody radically different possibilities for what A.I. consciousness might look like, feel, and dream about, all woven together through the misadventures of a late-night security guard at a spooky data center.
