"Kellar performance as Logan is stellar and ever-captivating. Her comedic timing was sharp, unapologetically leaning into the absurdity of the character’s dialogue. She brought a consistent frantic energy to Logan that made her entire performance electric, from the spiraling monologues caused by insecurity to the sudden emotional outbursts. Her dynamic with the rest of the troupe was effortless, especially in moments where Logan attempts to maintain a position of authority among the group. It can be easy to make a character written this way into a caricature, but Kellar toes that line expertly, painting Logan as an extremely familiar figure in many white-dominated arts spaces."

A young artist lands her dream job at an AI-powered tech company only to discover its pursuit of "optimization" is slowly transforming its employees into something less than human.
"It's an effective blend of science fiction, psychological horror and social satire and taps into very modern anxieties surrounding surveillance, algorithms, social media, workplace culture and the growing tendency to hand decisions over to technology. There are shades of Black Mirror throughout, but (the) screenplay develops its own identity through the hive metaphor and the gradual transformation of Dana from an independent artist into a carefully managed corporate asset. The concept feels timely and uncomfortably plausible, which strengthens the horror considerably...Overall, this is a strong and relevant techno-horror screenplay with a clear theme, a memorable villain and a concept that feels increasingly close to reality. I enjoyed it a lot."
