Watch Room

Watch Room, a DUST / Gunpowder & Sky exclusive short film, explores the possibility of creating humanised AI within virtual reality.

Director Noah Wagner approached Territory Studio — already a fan of their work — with visual references and a rough cut. Territory were heavily involved throughout, from moodboards to machine learning research, digging deep into how AI systems could connect with human brain systems and what that human/machine connection would look like visually. The result is an award-winning film now available to stream worldwide.

"Territory is the best kind of collaborator – one who takes an idea you sketched in your head and blows you away when actualized. I marveled at how Territory took our references and ran with them – the detail, thoughtfulness of UI, and integration of artistry into functionality all surpassed what I imagined." — Noah Wagner, Director
