A beloved robot is granted human consciousness by its creators and must adapt to the beauty of free will as well as the stress of having choices. VIDA (2024), is a short sic-fi film I wrote during my time at Chapman University. Aside from writing, I was deemed the "Grunt" of the production as I did an excess of manual labor to ensure the film's success. Despite many setbacks, VIDA lives and I’m extremely honored for it to have received best “Student Sci-Fi Short Film” at FICIMAD!
