In-Person & Virtual Event: CLiFF 2024 Film Screening; Address: Hall B - Stedman Lecture Hall (SLH B), 90 Vanier Ln, Toronto, ON

A comedy screenwriter for a TV show has to work with a new partner, Humormatic, a machine that writes jokes. The screenwriter will try to make her colleagues, her bosses, the TV host and the audience value her work, but Humormatic won't make things easy.


Humormatic is a short comedy about working as a comedy writer and the value of that labour.

At it’s heart, it asks us, why do we value machines more than people? A comedy screenwriter at

a TV Station has to work with a machine that writes jokes. The screenwriter tries to make her

colleagues, her bosses, the hosts, and audiences value her work – but alas, is forced to adapt.
