Millicent Simmonds, Troy Kotsur, Nyle DiMarco, & Phylicia Rashad to star in short film ‘Alone’

The film, which features a majority deaf cast, also includes James Broderick and Cameron Sault.

Simmonds plays Samantha, “a deaf woman living alone who receives an advanced humanoid robot designed to make her life easier. But as the machine learns her routines, emotions and past, their growing connection takes a dark and unsettling turn.”

The project was produced by Garrett Patten and veteran producer Tiziano Tucci, alongside DFA’s Brenda Linkous and Austin Lantero for Range Media Partners. William Lowery of Range Media Partners and David Keinath of DFA serve as executive producers. Orlando Herrera served as director of photography.
