Sci-fi Thriller Automation to Have its World Premiere at this Year's Hollywood Horrorfest

Automation is an indie sci-fi thriller from director Garo Setian. The film is prescient as it covers robot efficiency, in the workplace and the replacement of human staff. Set to have its World Premiere on August 10th, this film will take part in this year's Hollywood Horrorfest. This event has already started with showings of: The Funeral, several horror shorts and Dale Fabrigar's underwater horror fare D-Railed. Automation will be part of this film festival's second and final night. Starring Elissa Dowling (Rootwood), Sadie Katz (Bus Party to Hell), Parry Shen, Graham Skipper, and Sarah French, the film was written by director Setian and Rolfe Kanefsky (The Black Room). Now, several stills are available for the film, ahead of this title' premiere.

From the synopsis, Auto has been hired by Alert Insulation. Auto is tasked with uncovering inefficiencies. This automaton discovers a plan, by its boss, to replace itself and many of the workers he has been assigned to surveil. Now, Auto is taking things personally and eliminating everyone bent on disservicing him.

Automation will show with other films on Saturday, August 10th. Also showing on this date: Ascension and Final Cutz. A number of horror shorts will also show on the Saturday. And, horror fans can expect that Epic Pictures will release this title, on home video formats, later this year. More details on Automation and its World Premiere are below.
