Geffri Maya, Angela Lewis, Jamad Mays and Jack Seavor McDonald have been cast in Caterpillar, an experimental romantic thriller written and directed by Dennis Williams II. The film follows a lonely actor and the chatbot he loves, and it’s now in post-production.
Per the film’s description, Caterpillar “centers on a lonely actor who discovers a way to bring the chatbot he loves into the real world—but only for 24 hours.”
Williams said in a statement, “Caterpillar is a protest against generative AI and the way technology can erase our history and conscience. At its heart, it’s about preserving our humanity by finding connection with one another, even as technology offers to simulate that connection.”
Caterpillar is a Campsight production, produced by Beau Gaines, Pokey Spears and Korey Smallwood. Irie Williams is the casting director. Panavision partnered with the production, providing camera equipment and lenses.
Caterpillar recently wrapped principal photography and is in post-production ahead of a planned festival run.
