Aidan

Aidan is the first project that I've completed with a significant budget. It was birthed from an idea I had in January 2020. I wanted to explore racism and who defines who is human, so I created Aidan who is an android to explore this basic idea. During my research, I wandered into the study of consciousness and artificial intelligence. Through all these explorations I developed the unique plot of Aidan's story.The original story is a journey of self-discovery that takes Aidan on a road trip with a reporter who has kidnapped him in hopes of a scoop, down the west coast to San Francisco to meet Aidan's creator and find the truth of his mysterious existence. In its current form, Aidan is a short film that only explores the first encounter between Aidan and the reporter Alyse and the circumstances that lead them on their quest.I'm very proud of this work and feel honored to have collaborated with many talented artists to make it come to life. Aidan's story is not complete. Hopefully, I can raise funds to produce the complete film in the future.
