030 Subscribed Short Film - Or How I Got Diana Porter to Directing My Script
from Exploring Tomorrow: Meaningful Science Fiction and Life's Big Questions · host Mikel J. Wisler
Because I love science fiction, I don't just talk about it. Occasionally, I write sci-fi stories. And because I used to be a narrative filmmaker, I still pick up and camera and do a little cinematography. In this episode, I invite actor and director Diana Porter to discuss with me why she agreed to direct and star in "Subscribed," this short film I wrote out of concerns over how faceless corporations might exploit artificial intelligence as a tool to transform us into cogs in their profit machine. I also ask what first got Diana interested in science fiction. We are in post-production for "Subscribed" and eager to complete the film and share it with more people, get it into festivals, and engage in meaningful conversations around the themes of the film.
