A grieving scientist creates an AI in his dead wife’s image, but his grip on reality and ethics deteriorates when he is left with an insatiable desire to preserve her essential identity.

Elle explores human interaction, and attempts to define or erase the line between “human” and “other.” Elle delves into such questions as, “What is the essence of a human?” and “How closely tied are physical parts of a being to the essence of that being?” The popular ideas debated in the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics quietly form the foundation of the story as the characters unknowingly demonstrate the breakdown of certain theories. A mix of philosophy, science, and psychology, the script/novel is at its core simply about the connections between people and the invisible elements that can destroy them.

ELLE is a novel and screenplay in development. The novel was released on April 20, 2021. Buy it HERE!
