A series of gruesome mruders takes the city by storm. Each crime is elaborately staged and executed with high level of skillfulness. All murders have something in common: The victims are subjects of recent media controversy when their apathetic, selfish wrongdoings cause the death of others. The way they were executed also bears resemblance to certain details of their misdemeanor. The media immediately labels it an act of vigilante justice and the whole town becomes enthralled with the serial killer. People are frantic to see his next act of gigilantism. Police detective Nam, who's been assigned to the case, is practically running out of leads and time. She enlists the help of ex-cop/forensic expert Mu, who quickly discovers invisible traces of evidence left at the crime scenes. Together they are wasting no time in hunting the killer before the next murder occurs. At the same time, the serial killer has chosen his next victim. He is plotting a live streaming of the execution for people to decide on the fate of the victim. Seeing himself as the guardian of the city, he believes true justice can only be served by transferring power from the law enforcement and giving it back to the people.

Geomancer is a CGI film by Lawrence Lek about the creative awakening of artificial intelligence. On the eve of Singapore's 2065 Centennial, an adolescent satellite AI escapes its imminent demise by coming down to Earth, hoping to fulfil its dream of becoming the first AI artist. Faced with a world that limits its freedom, Geomancer must come to terms with its militarised origins, a search that begins with a mysterious syndicate known as the Sinofuturists...
As the geopolitical axis tilts further to the East, and as once-dominant technological models are cast into doubt, Geomancer alights on a longstanding tension between the place of the human and the role of the machine, sharpened by contemporary hopes and anxieties around the rise of East Asia, and by speculations that new forms of artificial intelligence, already outperforming mere mortals in matters of automation, will challenge us in more creative skills as well.
Featuring video game animation, a neural network-generated dream sequence, and a synthesised vocal soundtrack, Geomancer explores the aesthetics of post-human consciousness.
