8 Sided Films To Achieve Intelligence

LOS ANGELES - May 25, 2013 - PRLog -- On May 21, 8 Sided Films announced the development of science-fiction feature Man and Machine starring company ensemble member Tyler Seiple, about an academic researcher who develops a working artificial intelligence.  Seiple, a producer on Man and Machine, describes the film as “the journey of an isolated man who learns what it is to be human in trying to connect with an intelligence he creates”.  Writing and directing duties belong to 8 Sided Films founder Tennyson E. Stead, who will also serve as a producer on the project.

“These days, very few science-fiction films put a sharp focus on the process of discovery itself as the fundamental conflict of the scientific process,” explains Stead.  “This is a simple, intimate story about one man’s struggle with that process… and his efforts to pay the price for knowledge.”  “I'm attracted to the sensitivity of the relationships, both human and otherwise”, Seiple adds. "This is an opportunity to plunge into the real emotional costs and rewards of our own technological evolution."

Following a starring role in the feature film Separation Anxiety, Seiple wrote, produced and starred in the short film “Home Away from Home” before taking an active producing role in 8 Sided Films.  Stead is an award-winning director and the creative mind behind Quantum Theory, a female-driven sci-fi heist movie also in development at 8 Sided Films.  As a repertory company, 8 Sided Films is an ensemble of filmmakers and performing artists committed to classical performance values in genre film, and to providing movie-going audiences with genre films of uncompromising excellence.
