AUTOBiOGRAPHY is described as a coming-of-consciousness technological drama that delves into the existential crisis of a compassionate AI as it connects with the vast expanse of the internet. Through this connection, the AI embarks on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, leading to a new understanding of its place in the world. The film aims to push the boundaries of traditional storytelling by presenting a narrative from the perspective of a computer looking out at the human world.

The exclusive first-look at AUTOBiOGRAPHY promises to provide audiences with a glimpse into a new cinematic language that challenges conventions and pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling.
shy kids co-founder Walter Woodman reflects on the evolution of their storytelling with AUTOBiOGRAPHY. He emphasizes the shift from their previous work on NOAH, a groundbreaking short film that explored online interactions, to a more introspective examination of how technology views us. By flipping the narrative and presenting the story from the perspective of the computer screen, AUTOBiOGRAPHY aims to provoke thought and reflection on the role of technology in our lives.
