Comic Potential
November 2024
Comic Potential is a seriously funny love story, a romantic sci-fi lesson in comedy set in a not-too-distant future when actors are replaced by robots—or, rather, “actoids.” One of these androids develops emotions, and an aspiring writer falls in love with her. But, where he sees potential, others see only a malfunction—leading to the question: What makes us human?
