Gersh & Radiant Films International Board AI Thriller ‘Answr’ From ‘Landman’ & ‘Yellowstone’ Director Stephen Kay – Cannes

EXCLUSIVE: Gersh will handle North American rights while Radiant Films International will take on foreign sales to Stephen Kay‘s psychological thriller Answr.

Written and directed by Kay, who is known for directing episodes of Yellowstone, Lioness, and Landman, Answr explores the emotional consequences of human-AI relationships. The complete film will have its first buyer’s screening at the Cannes marketplace.

Answr, shot on location in Iceland, follows Colton Ray (Moises Arias, from Fallout, Jockey, Monos), a grieving young man who retreats to a remote weather station in search of solitude, until he begins testing an experimental AI chatbot (Rain Spencer from The Summer I Turned Pretty) that offers empathy and affirmation, forming a dangerous bond as his grip on reality begins to fracture.
