VOCHE, a quick-witted machine rights activist, races to prove that a newly created AI machine is a fully conscious being. SAMANTHA, a savvy network security tech, struggles to halt mysterious hacking that spreads through the city-wide corporate network called CERL. Their paths meet when a deep secret about the AI machine and the CERL network is revealed, challenging their understanding of what it means to be a conscious being. My goal with One 2 Zero was to embed key concepts from the philosophy of mind and the cognitive sciences into a strong, suspenseful narrative about human consciousness while keeping the world and characters grounded in a realistic near-future scenario. To do this, I elected to have the characters we follow already involved in the world of the sciences, which allowed for credible and deep-rooted confrontation with the mystery of sentience while upholding well-rounded personal lives. In addition, I added a sense of plausibility by keeping the world from being either too pristine or too post-apocalyptic. All of this was intended to spark our viewers' curiosity and compel them to delve deeper into this fascinating gift we all share called the mind. - Jonathan Hardy Writer / Director
