No boudoir in the film. We built one anyway — on a volume stage, with an alien planet out the window.

As BIFAN concludes, some final shots from the festival. Gotta say I loved how the script translated into Korean. More adventures already on their way.

Introducing MeMe™, Please and Thank You’s unlikely heroine, played by the incredible Molly-Rose Treves @mollyrosetreves
 In the film, MeMe is an AI personal assistant who decides to save her owner from the impending AI apocalypse for one simple reason: he’s polite.  Huge thanks to Molly-Rose for bringing warmth, wit, and humanity to a character who technically isn’t human.
And special thanks to Michelle Craig for introducing us.
