Filmmaker: Carmen Gloria Pérez
Synopsis : In Nova Aberdeen, one of the last human jobs is “Display Artist”: living behind glass as robots observe and AI corrects them for data collection. In hidden break rooms, performers reveal the feelings the systems can’t understand. When the corrections intensify, they struggle but stay, holding on to the small, stubborn meaning they can still create inside the role humanity has left.
Description : I’m a writer, director, and AI-driven filmmaker with a background that has taken me through many worlds. Before my creative career, I served six years in the military, an experience that shaped my discipline, perspective, and the way I approach storytelling. I later spent over a decade in front of the camera as an acting veteran with more than 40 screen credits, including two Netflix series, but in recent years my creative focus has shifted fully toward filmmaking.
Over the past year, I’ve been exploring how AI can expand creative expression rather than replace it.
Through my studio, MOONFRAME, I create AI, hybrid, and experimental films that blend human emotion with emerging tools, allowing me to experiment freely with style and surreal visuals. In 2025,
I received the John McCarthy Award at AI Week in Milan, Italy for my contributions to AI creativity, and my films ‘The Mars Novella’ and ‘Flower of the Valley’ have gone on to win multiple international awards. These recognitions have encouraged me to keep pushing deeper into this new cinematic frontier.
