The world’s first sentient machine goes on stage to accept a prestigious “Person of the Year” award as an auditorium of humans are confronted with his emotional and controversial story.
"Donny the Drone" by Mackenzie Sheppard
More About Donny the Drone:
Donny the Drone (voiced by Guy Pearce) has just been named the “Person of the Year” by World Times magazine. Donny takes the stage to dramatically tell his story of how he came to have real human emotions. His anecdotes are portrayed with highlights from his world-spanning adventures that have shaped who he has become. As the ceremony goes on, Donny’s vision becomes grander, more ambitious and potentially concerning. Will Donny be able to freely pursue his dream of helping all over the world—or will mankind’s darker, paranoid instincts intervene before Donny achieves ultimate, worldwide control.

Was that horrifying to anyone else! It was good and then I felt where it was going and in the end I was feeling trapped in despair because even though he killed donny, Donmy has alreadg assembled everything his plan needed to survive beyond him!🤯 Oh but over all great scenery and awesome short!
