IMOM

This is the world of modern which is the robotics has evolved to the
point of public consumption. Realistic in both appearance and reaction, the
affordable iMom is the latest innovation in aiding new parents with the
daunting task of child rearing. Diapers, feedings, and even nurturing can
now be accomplished with these surrogate mothers

The story revolves around an aloof single mom (Marta Dusseldorp), who
spends more time on her touchscreen than with her two children: Sam (Karl
Beattie), an emotionally neglected victim of school bullies, and her newborn
baby girl. With iMom to do the heavy-lifting, the mother leaves the kids in
the automaton’s care as she goes out to a party. Sheepish about his
feelings for iMom, the dour Sam eventually develops a kinship with the
machine that he never found with his real mother. What follows is a slow
philosophical build which questions both what becomes of humankind
when we take away what it is to be human and the inherent downside of
technological excess. I love the short film and I was amaze what the
technology can do for us and that technology can be one of a human but
some case's the technology can destroy our attitude and feature about life.
Mostly it will affect those new born baby's.

Beautiful in its crisp, yet not overly stylized appearance, The iMom doesn’t
quite reach beyond the boundaries of the story being told. Dark and moody,
the film sets the right tone, allowing the quiet moments to keep the pace.
The acting is strong throughout, most notably when Sam interacts with
iMom one on one. Matilda Brown also portrays the role of robot with a
vacant charm, sympathetically drawing the viewer in regardless of
preconceived notations laid out by the plot.
