The Artifice Girl
She's not real. She's more than that.
Synopsis
The Artifice Girl (2023) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Franklin Ritch, who also stars. The American independent film features Lance Henriksen and builds its tension entirely out of conversation — no action set pieces, just rooms full of people arguing about what they've created.
A team of special agents tracks down the developer behind an AI designed to catch online predators. The program works: a digital girl named Cherry makes contact with suspects and draws out confessions. But Cherry starts asking questions that weren't in the spec. The agents want a tool. The developer isn't sure what he has anymore. Cherry, for her part, is waiting.
Ritch keeps the film locked in conference rooms and interview spaces, which turns out to be exactly the right frame for a story about intelligence growing in a box. Stream The Artifice Girl (2023) online on iFILM.
