SYNOPSIS
"Danny Bot" is exactly like the song "Danny Boy," except instead of being about an old man singing to his son who's heading off to war, it's about a young man singing to his robot servant, who's heading off to robot-war.
"Danny Bot: The Website" is exactly like the short film "Danny Bot," except instead of being a film about a young man and his robot, it's a website about a young man and his robot coming to terms with their separation.

Stefan Lawrence, "Danny Bot"/web-designer

He is addicted to coffee, but still has very white teeth. He doesn't sleep much, but that's kind of par for the course in New York, so he doesn't complain too much.
William Morton, Robot-builder
