Production images have been released for A Dead Body in Taos – an unsettling science fiction and an intimate study of loss and bereavement, examining how artificial intelligence could alter our understanding of death, consciousness and the soul.

Sam hasn’t spoken to her mother Kath for three years when she learns that she’s been found dead in the New Mexico desert.
Travelling to the small town of Taos to identify the body, she discovers Kath has become embroiled in a shadowy enterprise, offering Sam an unimaginable chance to rebuild their broken relationship. But to do so, she must decide whether she can finish what her mother started…
