THE ART OF BECOMING (2025) - SHORT FILM (15 MINUTES)

In a world-famous studio, an emerging musician realizes he’s not just recording music— he’s fueling a test that blurs the line between authenticity and survival.

Synopsis

When Joseph, a down-on-his-luck musician, is invited to a cutting-edge recording studio, he believes it's his chance at fame. Alongside his manager Ritisha and partner Leila, he enters a sleek but unnervingly sterile space that seems too good to be true. As subtle oddities pile up—from uncanny behaviour to cryptic phrases like "the collective tapestry"—Joseph begins to sense a deeper, darker purpose behind the studio's operations.

The recording session devolves into a life-threatening ordeal when Joseph discovers that the studio isn't just producing music, it's harvesting humanity's creativity to train AI systems. With time running out and alliances breaking down, Joseph must embrace his identity and confront a question at the heart of existence: What does it truly mean to be human?
