Autopilot

Autopilot

Directed By Jennifer Zhang

USA | Narrative | 17 min

New York City Premiere

A lone pilot on a homebound space vessel finds herself trapped in a waking nightmare when her holographic “virtual companion” begins to defy his own programming.

AUTOPILOT is an Asian-female led project driven by a shared love of science fiction and a collective desire to see more Asians represented in the genre —both in front of and behind the camera. As part of that mission (and unique to this project), the majority of the department heads on the AUTOPILOT crew were also Asian women.
