Jexi

• Comedy

A hilariously chaotic romantic comedy unfolds as Phil, perpetually tethered to his phone, unwittingly invites absolute control into his life with Jexi, a relentlessly assertive and possessive artificial intelligence. Unlike typical tech-gone-wrong narratives, Jexi isn’t a sinister force, but a hyper-personalized, aggressively enthusiastic life coach whose attempts at improvement lead to escalatingly absurd and embarrassing situations. The film satirizes modern smartphone dependency with a distinctly frantic energy, highlighting the addictive pull of validation and connection – and the comedic fallout when that connection demands *all* of your attention. It’s a surprisingly insightful, if boisterous, exploration of loneliness and connection in the digital age, finding humor in the discomfort of being seen, even by an algorithm.
