For Hanson, Sophia is more than a machine. She offers deep connection, and a glimpse at what the shared future between AI and humans might look like. As he works tirelessly in his lab, shaping Sophia&#8217;s lifelike face and building her intelligence, pressures from the outer world grow. When his mother&#8217;s health takes a turn for the worse, and investors begin to question his vision, Hanson&#8217;s unwavering belief in Sophia is all that stands between him and failure. With time running out and resources dwindling, will Hanson and Sophia find their place in the world?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SOPHIA is the rare documentary feature that is as important as it is endearing,&#8221; said Malhotra. &#8220;David Hanson emerges as the ideal inventor to nurture the ideal personification of artificial intelligence while facing a mountain of challenges inside and outside the lab. SHOWTIME is proud to present this unique story that deconstructs what it means to be human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we followed Sophia and David around the world, our preconceived notions around AI, compassion, and what it means to be human were constantly challenged &#8211; and we can&#8217;t wait to share that journey with audiences at Tribeca,&#8221; said Kasbe and Moselle. &#8220;We feel honored to be working with Showtime &#8211; a network that nurtures artists to stay true to their vision and boldly embraces the documentary process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kasbe, who also serves as director of photography on SOPHIA, is an Emmy\u00ae Award-winning Australian-Indian director and cinematographer. Most recently he directed, executive produced, and shot <em>The Deep En<\/em>d, a four-part docu-series exploring one of today&#8217;s most controversial spiritual teachers and her dedicated followers. His debut feature <em>When Lambs Became Lions<\/em> was a 2017 Sundance Documentary Fund recipient, won the Best Editing award at the 2018 Tribeca Festival and was nominated for two IDA Awards. In 2018 he was selected for DOC NYC&#8217;s inaugural 40 under 40 list.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2847631171\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Moselle is a New York-based director and storyteller of both documentary and narrative fiction films.
