The Alpha Invention

“After applying an ingenious method to create artificial intelligence on his home computer, a reclusive programmer is contacted one rainy evening by a suspicious dealer looking to buy the technology from him. However, as the call progresses it becomes clear that neither man is who or what they claim to be.”

Behind the scenes of the Alpha Invention:

What surprised me is that the whole room was a set, rather than being filmed in a room. This gives the filmmakers better control over the mood and look of the final piece.
