The combination of social media coupled with AI is causing a lot of people to freak out.
Things like facial recognition and creating digital versions of yourself have always been a bit freaky to me, watching new short Likeness was certainly an experience.
We follow a teen girl who employs a digital version of her mum to help her track down her missing mum – can’t go wrong can it?
As with most films like this, it is an exercise in being careful what you wish for, and knowing when to draw a line in the sand when the technology knows a bit too much.
Likeness really tries to sell the magnitude of her journey, coupled with a pounding and intense score as this film hurtles towards its sombre conclusion.
Likeness screens as part of the HollyShorts Film Festival 2023.
