The filmSynopsis

An undercover cop must eliminate a high profile target to save her family. In a fight between morality and the law, she stands alone. Wired is a thriller about the AI-driven world we already live in and what could happen if its use went wrong, co-written with Audrey Evelyn Raine and directed and edited by Peter Koevari, with a strong representation of female and diverse cast and crew.

In his wordsDirector's statement

Wired is a love letter to thriller films such as "Cranked", the Netflix series, "Black Mirror", but also our own take on the very real AI-driven world we are living in and what could easily happen if something were to go wrong in the application of it.

The film was also co-written by a female writer, Audrey Evelyn Raine, and with a strong representation of female and diverse cast and crew.

The ending to Wired was probably the biggest gut punch I've received watching this season's submissions.
