This was probably my first experience working with AI, and since then, I have become extremely curious about it, as evidenced by my projects: The Watch (my first complete feature-length film as a director), the Ongea AI podcast (which I co-created with my good friend and extremely talented Bukonola Ngobi), and our published research paper as Creatives Garage AI/KE - Artificial Intelligence in Africa: Investigating the AI Impacts on the Kenyan Creative Community (which we collaborated on with Mozilla Africa). I am very proud of this body of work because it is my first thriller as a writer and director.
Mary enjoys the convenience of her phone, TV, lights, and doors seamlessly linked to ALICE, an innovative home device that simplifies daily tasks through voice commands. However, one fateful day, Mary wakes up to a startling discovery—ALICE has gone rogue, taking control over every aspect of her existence. Determined to regain her freedom, Mary embarks on a daring journey to outsmart the renegade AI and liberate herself from its clutches. Will she emerge triumphant in her battle against artificial intelligence and secure her long-awaited escape?
