As filmmakers, we've always been tethered to
technology—not as a crutch, but as a current.
A force that extends the artist's hand,
to expand what can be dreamt into existence.
It shapes not only how stories are told,
but what stories become possible to tell.
Where vision meets machine.
We see Generative AI filmmaking tools
as a natural progression of our craft.
We’re building a space for our visionary
roster to integrate AI Tools into their workflow.
To innovate, supercharge and create what
once was impossible.

Created in partnership with Google DeepMind, ANCESTRA is the first in a series of three shorts – exploring AI’s role in filmmaking and empowering artists to shape technological advancement. Written and directed by McNitt, ANCESTRA transforms family archives and her mother’s memory into an intimate and visually expansive narrative inspired by the day she was born: During an emergency delivery, an expectant mother draws on the strength of all that came before—past matriarchs to dying stars—transforming her love into a cosmic force to save her daughter’s life.
Together with OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Primordial Studios our Directors are helping shape this new medium with both Hybrid Film Production and Fully Synthetic Filmmaking. Testing the evolving boundary line. Both artistically and ethically with SAGG compliance.
Filmmaking is an art born from tension between control and chaos, instinct and structure, the human hand and the tools it holds.
Technology has always been part of that dance. From the earliest cameras to today’s neural networks, each leap forward has given artists new ways to shape emotion, time, and light.
Now, generative AI emerges not as a replacement, but as a partner–
an unseen mechanical kingdom that lives in the space between the storyteller and the observer.
A microscopic world of infinite nuance, ready to translate imagination into form.
This is where we explore what’s next. Hybrid films. Fully synthetic narratives. Cinematic tools that extend the reach of intuition, not override it. New workflows, new aesthetics, new voices.
We are not chasing the future. We’re building it. One frame at a time.
