Decided to play with some test footage shot in 2012 and repurpose it as the proof of concept for a scene in my newest sci-fi script. This cut has absolutely nothing to do with the original concept the footage was shot for.

"In the year 2170 humans have developed humanoid robots with powerful artificial intelligences. The humanoids have been allowed to seamlessly integrate into society. They are coworkers, they are friends, they are the people you walk by on the streets. The robots are given these freedoms under one condition: no romantic entanglements with the humans. If any illicit relationship is discovered, the failsafe in the AIs coding is activated and their systems are wiped clean then promptly rebooted.
Cassea tried her best not to fall for her human coworker Riley, but after one night of after hours socializing they both fell victim to their undeniable attraction and a secret love affair ensued. In the 60 seconds before her reboot is complete, Cassea finds herself replaying the remaining fragments of her corrupted memories with Riley before they disappear forever."
