Heimdall Land is a picture of social forethought. It shows how society might operate in the future under the influence of Surveillance Capitalism [Quoted from Shoshana Zuboff]. Made with AI. It is a metaphor for how the current capital market collects unlimited data on users' behavior and turns it into a commodity for analysis, thus controlling the human mind.

A routine evening of a young babysitter turns into a real nightmare when the AI system supervising the house begins to receive the secret commands of someone, or something, who is clearly dissatisfied with her presence in this house. "Frequency" is a combination of supernatural horror themes with the SF genre in the style of "Black Mirror", coming from our passion for horror films based on an intriguing mystery and fascinating dark force as main opponent, as well as our interest in the subject of AI and new technologies. By creating this story, we wanted to offer fans of these genres a good time, by holding on to the framework of accepted conventions, although under the surface of the main storyline, this film also touches the universal and socially important aspects related to the technological revolution accelerating around us. Particularly it is our fear, or at least a growing anxiety, of new technologies and their interference in our everyday life - technologies that see, hear and often know more about us than ourselves, slowly turning into new, mysterious, omnipotent "black boxes", the principles of operation of which no one fully understands, although they increasingly determine many aspects of our lives. Moreover, in the modern, digitized world, it is not the traditional séances of spiritualism, curses and other old-style para-religious practices, but new technologies that may soon become the new gateway to our imagination through which various irrational fears about the world and reality will pass, not only the "paranormal". We live in unprecedented times, where progress and technological change are gaining momentum, changing our lives in the most unpredictable places and areas. I am one of those people who predict that the advancing technological revolution will significantly contribute to replacing human work with artificial intelligence algorithms combined with robotization. So it turns out that even the ancient "profession" of a spiritualist medium will not be able to avoid the threat of automation!
