Road to Recovery
by Syd Briscoe

This poignant film for the Dublin Simon Community uses AI technology to humanise homelessness for a wide audience. The film follows the story of one man - Justin Cannon - who's spent fifteen years working on recovering from the trauma of living on the streets.

The storybook visuals add a painterly aspect to the tale, allowing viewers to find symbolic meaning in events as Cannon describes feeling like he's watched over by a guardian angel. His final discussion of seeing his cat as an anchor of stability and comfort, in particular, will resonate with any animal lovers watching.

This is an interesting example of how AI technology can be useful in a commercial setting, though there's no discernible reason why a human artist couldn't have produced the same visual result. Allowing vulnerable people to tell their stories with privacy intact is important, and this is an affecting example of how emotionally powerful such stories can be.
