We here at Open The Portal are big fans of things that resemble things we love created by things one wouldn’t expect to create said things. In this case, the first “thing” is a science fiction short film called “Sunspring,” which resembles (“thing #2”) many science fiction short films that we love, and was created by an unexpected entity (“thing 3”)–an artificial intelligence that named itself “Benjamin.” We had to good fortune to meet Benjamin’s delightful parents, Oscar Sharp and Ross Goodwin earlier this year, and found we had more in common than we could keep track of.

You can follow Benjamin’s exploits in writing film synopses at his Tumblr page here: http://benjamin-ai.tumblr.com/
