The Building

Director/Creator: Orson Nava Producer: Lee Rochester executive producer: Lawrence Lartey, Produced By:The Ravensbourne University Centre for Film Practice as Research, 2025, UK, English language, 18′, Territory: World

What happens when a high-powered company CEO becomes dependent on the artificial intelligence that runs his office building? Who is actually in control, and does the artificial intelligence have a more developed moral sense than the man it ‘serves’? ‘The Building’ explores the ethical and personal issues raised by our increased dependence on technology, teasing out the complicated dynamic between the central character Caleb and the Ai programmed to be his assistant.

The film is currently being developed as a series.

“In a world oversaturated with AI discourse, The Building manages to say somethingnew—and say it well. It’s thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and quietly hopeful.I’d strongly recommend this film to anyone seeking a more balanced and nuanced discussion about AI and its place in our day-to-day lives.” Ore Ige
