KILLING R

KILLING R-SHORTFILM 15 min

In a not-so-distant future where AI technology is part of everyday life, Rebecka (41), a successful architect and mother to Nonno (5), works from home with her sick daughter while her partner Carl (39) is away.
Rebecka needs assistance to focus on an important deadline and receives help from her AI clone, R. However, R not only provides support but also constantly criticizes Rebecka, reminding her of her limitations as both a mother and an architect, which creates feelings of insecurity and guilt within her.
The increased pressure from R, coupled with Rebecka's ambition to excel both at work and at home, leads Rebecka to fantasize about different ways to get rid of the clone, but getting rid of a version of herself proves to be not a simple task.

Killing R @ TRIESTE SCI-FI FILMFESTIVAL- What a great festival!

Konstnärsnämndens grant made it possible for me to go to Trieste Sci-fi Filmfestival. A great festival with great people, great food and the theatre salong at Rosetti is to die for. I learned that the absence of female directors within genre and sci-fi is huge. Also that many films often focus on effects rather than story and human connections.. Don't worry! I will change all that in my next film! AND- Hope to come back to Trieste with the feature film based on KILLING R in the future. Also.. In the future visit, I will stay a bit longer cause Italy has so much to offer.
