Would you allow an A.I. app to access your heart and your mind?
In the bustling heart of Philadelphia, Greek-American Alex Tikas launches a tech start up from his garage. His brainchild, the AI-powered EMO app, promises instant emotional gratification with a tap. But the app's true power lies in its ability to manipulate users' emotions, transforming them into digital zombies, hopelessly addicted.
As millions worldwide succumb to EMO's allure, Alex realizes the horrifying truth: his creation has become a digital pandemic, threatening to consume humanity entirely. Alex and his team desperately race against time, seeking to eradicate the app before it's too late. Their journey takes them down a rabbit hole of deception and betrayal, forcing them to confront the very nature of technology.
EMO is a fast-paced dystopian sci-fi thriller with a touch of fantasy that boldly critiques the allure of the fake digital world and the toxic, synthetic emotions it cultivates to its users. For cinephiles, imagine The Social Network meets Night of the Living Dead.
Based on my Best Unproduced Screenplay at international festivals, EMO's story will prompt you to explore the true cost of instant gratification in our increasingly digital world.
