It's the Year 2058, and A.I have taken the world by storm. But what does it take for an A.I to kill? Detective Ray Light must investigate the murder of technological tycoon and philanthropist Orion Charles, who was killed by his own creation in this tense SCI-FI thriller, Rain.

[@fredwatkins5017]

I have to disagree to agree... One life is not more important than the other, no matter how mundane...all life is important... You can kill millions of people in one place that has no effect on one blade of grass elsewhere... It can be set that if that blade of grass disappears(killed) than so does all of humanity... You never really know.... I hope that is not the scenario,as well as many others,I'm sure... Who can tell though?!?

@@SkymaxVisuals AI would need the planet in good order as much as we do. There's the conflict. They would probably assess the resources globally, assess the demand. And we don't. I think they'd see that as a threat. They could try negotion but politics is often warped and failure could be expected. Next step would be to force the issue. Cyber attacks would cripple human society. And the AI could reside anywhere, in multiple systems across the world. Just a thought...

Thank you ever so much Dadzor. If you don't mind me asking, did you have a favourite moment/ scene from the film?

[@DadzorRules]

@@SkymaxVisuals I think what struck me most was the depth of compassion, of humanity, shown by the non-human towards her soon-to-be killer. Ironic though it was, it paled in comparison to the absolute lack of compassion, or any feeelings at all, really, he might have felt for her. His parting words to her about whether her death would be painful, showed a callous indifference to her or any fear she might have been experiencing. Rathe than offering a simple "no" to her question, he said, "I don't know." The only feeling shown at the end was his smile when he looked at her parting gift, a plant. Technically, it was very well done, from the minimalist colorless set (the interrogation room) to the quality of the acting. The performance of Ms Gamburg, especially is beautiful to watch. At the risk of being redundant, "Outstanding!"

When you program your AI device, you can't be giving it unclear or conflicting instructions. You may not like how it interprets them. Follow the sci fi examples where there is a hierarchy of protocols in the instructions. Even this will have it's problems though, such as when an AI is defending the evil-doer.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Exactly!

Scientists throw shit backfire again themselves. They created high quality performing AI guardians for that purpose.

You certainly are correct Kira, there are flaws in the instructions and laws created by man.

@@p0rnany0ne I don't think I worded my reply very well. Lorraine thought the position of the shot was to objectify Luna, but it's purpose was to not show her face until Ray (the detective) sat down. It was to build suspense and a little anticipation. It wasn't intended to highlight females in that kind of light. It's a shame that people see our movie as purposely sexualising women. The actress who played Luna (Anna Gamburg) certainly did not feel that way during the shoot or the result of the film.

GREAT, yet another one of the only three legal scifi themes = HAL attacks. There are massive tons of great science fiction out there. Why can't vid makers read some?

[@SkymaxVisuals]

I like to think that this film is more than just 'HAL attacks'. The main theme was that Luna had a choice and acted on her own accord. I agree that there are many great stories out there and I wrote this script as it came to me and it felt right. There are also many elements when it comes to film production and sometimes it's difficult to include them all in order to create a coherent piece for the audience. So it's a shame you saw this film as a 'HAL attacks', however, thank you for taking the time to watch it and all opinions are as valuable as each other. Filmmaking is a skilful and lengthy process, only one can improve on. Have a fantastic day!

This was more of a "HAL protecc". She was just protecting remaining plantlife. It's an understandable reason, and not some rogue murderous robot. If plant life on the earth was endangered and this guy is burning more of it, many humans might have done the same exact thing.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Yes I agree. It is focusing more on the choice and the outcomes of an artificial intelligence’s decisions rather than their pure desire to kill, but I suppose everyone interprets the story differently.

The humans acted as robotic as the AI.

I am confused. This whole movie was in english voice? Unless none english speaking people can only read english that actually hearing it?

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Sorry, what do you mean?

[@smunden20]

Very similar plot to i,robot

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Funnily enough, we didn't think of iRobot during production. Blade Runner was our biggest inspiration. Hope you enjoyed it!

[@annemckeon6532]

The detective was weird and his interrogation skills were dreadful. Couldn't feel any empathy for him. The storyline asks important questions of the whole AI technology thing. So it served it's purpose well but to be honest I didn't like the film.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Fair enough Anne. Might not be for everyone. I was 19 when I wrote and directed the film and the cast and crew all worked extremely hard on a voluntary basis. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Have a wonderful day/ night :)

[@annemckeon6532]

@@SkymaxVisuals Not all films can be one's cup of tea. But it did ask important questions as I said and that means a lot. I wish I could produce a piece of art like this to get a message across. I try to write short stories but I guess they are not everyone's cup of tea either. May you keep going from strength to strength in your field.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

@@annemckeon6532 Same to you Anne. Keep writing those short stories and publish them online and get feedback. I would love to read them :)

Agreed it shows the system coming to terms -maybe- with the implementation of technology- Frankenstein in effect…for 19 years old it’s very good indeed

[@bigbuttmcgraw]

Full of holes.

See what you did there 😉

[@TonyThomann]

Uh... Horribly acted beginning to end.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

It’s a shame you found the acting horrible. Either way, thanks for taking the time to watch it. All opinions are welcome.

[@virginiahaskins8900]

I’ve seen much worse acting in mainstream movies 🤷‍♀️

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

I didn’t mind it, and I watch a lot of short films!!!!

Rajeshwar Sharma why thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

Nothing original here at all....but well made for a student piece of work nonetheless.

[@SkymaxVisuals]

It’s a shame you didn’t find it original, but maybe you still enjoyed it. We respect everyone has different opinions and thank you for taking the time to watch it.

[@wmcbarker4155]

guess this doesn't need captioning, another silent movie for the deaf...thumbs down

[@SkymaxVisuals]

Apologies for the lack of captions. We have now added them.
