STATIC-HEAD
written by Ryan Stevens & directed by Stefan Roseen
Sensor-E is the hit new social media app, able to simulate real-life sensations so you can touch, taste, and smell everything you see on your screen. At the prestigious Osman-Haskill University of Technology, where the app was first created, strange things are happening on Sensor-E: Aimee, mourning the loss of her twin sister, uncovers a string of disappearances targeting her classmates. Blair, a fame-hungry would-be influencer, is enlisted into a vast conspiracy concerning school leadership. Paige, relegated to her dorm room due to a health issue that keeps her isolated, is haunted by a strange digital ghost that might hold the key to understanding her condition.
As they struggle to navigate these mysteries, the three students’ paths cross. Soon enough, their use of Sensor-E threatens to permanently blur the line between reality and simulation. The school they attend is not what it once seemed, and the world they know becomes weirder and more dangerous than they could ever imagine. When we can approximate reality, how do we distinguish the real thing?
A sci-fi thriller about the internet and the people it uses, Static-Head renders a cautionary tale against the existent rise of AI and virtual realities.
