An Android Turns on Her Artist Master in Fantastic Sci-Fi Short Film MUSE
I’ve got a great sci-fi short film here for you to watch that was produced by DUST titled Muse. The story sees an artist turn to his android muse for help when trying to sell his newest paintings, but events end up taking a dark and disturbing turn when the android learns what it is that inspired his work.
An artist welcomes in an art gallery owner to view his latest offerings, his in-house android at his beck and call. When the meeting turns sour and the guest tries to leave, Alderman calls on Kay and... So begins the next day. When police officers come knocking regarding an altercation outside, it transpires that Alderman has amended Kay's CPU to respond to un-programmed demands - including murder to which she complies and the police officers are disposed of. As Kay becomes self-aware she turns on her owner and creates a painting in his honour - a painting of pain. The muse becomes the puppet- master.
The movie was written and directed by Azhur Saleem and he did a great job of bringing executing this story as he brought it to life.
