If your a technology geek this is an enjoyable flick. I'd recommend
seeing. 4
stories. It's being independantly pretty much everything. So primarily
marketing though grass roots, blogs, and a few websites.

SYNOPSIS:

"My Robot Baby"
Before they can adopt a human child, young professionals Marcia (Tamlyn
Tomita)
and Roy (James Saito) must prove themselves by taking care of a robot
baby. But
when Roy leaves on a business emergency and the robot begins to
malfunction,
Marcia must confront her fears of the machine - and of motherhood
itself.
"The Robot Fixer"
Bernice Chin (Wai Ching Ho) has never really known her estranged son
Wilson.
Now a car accident has put Wilson into a coma. And the only clue he's
left
behind is a box of twenty-year-old toy robots. As her daughter Grace
(Cindy
Cheung) presses her to deal with Wilson's deteriorating condition,
Bernice
becomes obsessed with Wilson's toys, as if repairing the robots will
help her
connect with her unreachable son.
"Machine Love"
The latest component of the digital office, the Sprout G9 iPerson is a
walking,
talking coding machine programmed to fit seamlessly into its work
environment
by learning from its human co-workers. But when he finds himself in an
oppressive office surrounded by dysfunctional people, a G9 named Archie
(Greg
Pak) learns just how much he needs love.
"Clay"
In John Lee's world, technology allows people to scan their memories -
and thus
their consciousness - into computers. John (Sab Shimono), an old
sculptor,
struggles to complete his design for a major public square project, but
his
body is falling apart. His doctor, his son Tommy (Ron Domingo), and his
digitized wife Helen (Eisa Davis) all tell him the same thing - it's
time to
get scanned. Then he'll merge with all human knowledge and experience,
achieving perfect love, perfect art. But John resists, fighting for the
right
to struggle and die.



REVIEWS:

"One of the most human and humane science fiction films I've seen in a
long
time."
- Kathy Maio, Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

"Director Greg Pak's 'Robot Stories' is the most entertainingly
humanistic
robot film since 'Metropolis,' and anyone who tells you otherwise is
probably a
replicant and not to be trusted around small animals and electrical
outlets."
