This episode of the 5D Podcast is brought to you by Guardian, the soon to be released Sci-fi short film from Germany. When the artificial intelligence in control of a military space station ( E.L.I. ) decides to launch an unprovoked, all-out nuclear strike on an enemy nation, it is up to the AI’s creator and a maintenance technician to stop it from annihilating half the globe. Guardian is not just an action-packed film about a military AI gone haywire, it’s also an emotional story about the maternal relationship between E.L.I. and his creator, Diane Colton, who considers him a surrogate for her own dead son, and uses that bond to help E.L.I. break out of his flawed programming. Guardian is short film that will set a new high-water mark for what is possible in its format. The finished short film will be released and screened at various festivals this year (2021). In the 5DNEWS there’s some chat about another set-back for the much vaunted new craft from SpaceX.....spoiler alert - it blew up. There’s also talk
