THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The medical profession has an ethic: First, do no harm. \u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Silicon Valley has an ethos: Build it first and ask for forgiveness later. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just as Twitter has revealed itself as a haven for online harassment and Nazism\u2014when left nearly entirely to its own devices, the central spirit of Silicon Valley, the internet, and Tech – their collective raging “id” – tends toward darkness. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

To guard against the downsides of technology plainly requires vigilance and regulation. But no matter what regulations are imposed, they can\u2019t be enforced worldwide any more than drug laws can. Whatever can be done will be done by someone, somewhere. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an anthology documentary series about the dark side of technology and science. \u00a0If Black Mirror<\/em> is an allegory about what\u00a0could <\/em>happen\u2026 this is a series about what\u00a0is happening…\u00a0<\/em>whether we like it or not. \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The organizing principle for this series is to dramatically distinguish itself from the stale objectivity of TV news magazine segments (think Vice News) and journalists who either become the story or editorialize the experience. Instead, our goal is to present each episode through the immersive and subjective POV of its featured subject. \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Specifically, these films will seduce viewers into a real-life twilight zone through the extremely intimate inner monologues\u00a0of the people who live there – the technology’s inventor, or the technology’s consumer, or even, in rare but potent cases…\u00a0the technology itself. \u00a0(Imagine a futuristic, but very real sex doll using A.I. to n<\/em><\/strong>arrate how it came to meet its human partner.)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Inventor
Spanish scientist and sex robot inventor Dr. Sergio Santos claims it’s only a matter of time before marriages between humans and robots become the norm and that the next logical step would be to have children with these robots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Experiencing each story in such an intimate and personal way will powerfully frame the dehumanizing effect of each “innovation” in terms that are both unflinchingly real and elegantly cinematic. The result is that each episode will be a self-contained essay about a technological “advancement” that is also a flashpoint in the battle for our souls.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n
