Deviant, an AI-made sci-fi thriller with a screenplay to download
John Polacek presents an 84-minute sci-fi thriller about a cloned tech mogul who develops a taste for novelty, romance, and control.
Field notes
The film was written as a screenplay before being produced with AI video generation, and the page explicitly frames the result as a complete rough cut rather than hiding its production limits. Its story includes a clone whose novelty preference becomes a route to sentience, alongside a six-limbed fabrication-lab character named Balls. The project also exposes a 188 KB screenplay PDF and states that both the screenplay and site use the MIT license.
