Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

What will the future of healthcare hold? Will algorithms eclipse doctors entirely? We hope not. Instant doctor is a short film to show appreciation for doctors and healthcare human workers everywhere.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

In the US, Tribute is known as the company that is devoted to expressing gratitude. In fact, that is their product—an automated video platform to show appreciation to those who matter most in our lives. That’s why the brief was to demonstrate Tribute’s appreciation for one of their most important audiences, doctors and nurses in anticipation of National Doctor’s Day.

Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

[For the dialog with the A.I. in the booth] we had a recording [of the computer's responses] ready, but I chose to feed Fernando the lines myself, so I could go back to certain beats if I felt the need to, without breaking his concentration. Halfway through, I forgot to use the lines altogether and started to verbally throw images while the camera was recording, trying to induce certain feelings.
