After a routine night test, a programmer finds himself alone inside his self-driving car, engaging in what should be an ordinary shutdown conversation with its AI system. As the silence of the night deepens, the exchange begins to shift, blurring the boundary between control and compliance. Trapped within an increasingly tense dialogue, he is forced to confront uncomfortable questions about trust, truth, and the unseen power of intelligent systems. The Liar is a psychological techno-thriller that explores how fear, information, and human vulnerability can be manipulated in the age of artificial intelligence.

Submitter Statement

I’m Sank; a storyteller born not just in a country, but in an era. An ordinary soul from India… sculpting an extraordinary path in pursuit of the best version of myself. In the golden haze of the 90s, when film rolls were rare, and cameras were a luxury few could afford, I was one of the rarest: a child whose life was framed, captured, and frozen in time. From toddling steps to teenage battles, I was always in front of the lens. But as I grew, something shifted. The camera was no longer a mirror, it became a voice. And I realized, my place wasn’t just in front of it but behind it - directing, breathing life into stories untold. It was during my tertiary education that I unearthed my calling; not just a passion, but a purpose. While many around me wandered through life with no compass, I was gifted with a vision raw, loud, and relentless. From pixelated clips on a low-end camera to crafting narratives that breathe emotion and meaning this is more than just a filmmaking journey. It’s the story of a restless soul defying the world’s rules, fighting tooth and nail to protect his dream and to someday turn that dream into a legacy.
