The Human[oid] Experience is a Tragicomedy centered around a heartbroken novelist in the face of a career-defining deadline, an emotional robot, and the all too familiar void.

Hedelle, and her humanoid companion/writing apparatus, Alfred, maintain a consistent writing routine: Netflix, Porn, and, hastily sent messages to her former lover. After a career-threatening call from her agent, Hedelle is forced to overcome her vices and submit the necessary pages before the deadline or risk losing the one thing that gave her life meaning. Meanwhile, Alfred has just been given a life-altering update that will allow him to realize his own consciousness. The consequences of which make it almost impossible for Hedelle to reach her mark.
