LOOP by Stuart Langfield A short sci-fi film set in the middle of the 21st century, that centres around reclusive, retired tech company CEO David Hinton’s attempts to teach AI how to experience and process true human emotions. Loop is an artistic exploration of a simple hypothesis: emotion cannot be programmed, it must be felt and experienced to be real. I started exploring this concept while observing my young son discover and display new emotions through his own direct experience and contact with others. He was learning to process the feelings of anger, joy, disappointment, sadness, and I found this progression of maturity fascinating and insightful. I started to question whether replicating an emotive incident could result in a similar reaction every time and, if so, could we program a machine to feel? – Credits: Writer & Director - Stuart Langfield A Very Polite Film Producer - Adam Maruniak Executive Producer - Dylan Rekert Starring: Michael J.Rogers - David Valeriia Polishchuk - Beca Tatenda Hatugari - Isaac Director of Photography - Cole Graham Editor - Jennifer Mackie Casting - Kara Eide & Kris Woznesensky Wardrobe - Yaw Obrenu Hair & Makeup - Hyesoo Sohn 1st AD - Anaisa Visser 1st AC - Alex Robichaud 2nd AC - Olly Bian Gaffer - Jordan Findlay Key Grip - Nelson Languedoc Swing - Jesse Goertz Grip - Yorke Graham Set Dresser - Breanna Mcgowan Colourist - Sam Gilling Composer & Sound Designer - Ryland Haggis Sound Mixer - Charles Adams Sound Mix - Justin Aucoin Graphic Designer - Mark Bulford Matte Painter - Stephen Kirby
