Simulant
Directed by April Mullen
Produced by Wango Films, Myriad Pictures
A melancholic sci-fi thriller exploring grief, identity, and what constitutes love through the lens of a widow unable to accept an android replacement of her deceased husband.
Faye attempts to replace her newly deceased husband, Evan, with an android simulant (SIM). Although SIM Evan appears like human Evan in every way, Faye does not feel the same love for SIM Evan as it does for her. SIM Evan tries to win Faye back while at the same time being on-the-run from a government agent chasing down SIMs who have become “conscious” and could potentially be a threat to humankind.
