Eliza McNitt’s short film Ancestra showcases the evolving use of generative AI in filmmaking, created in collaboration with Google’s DeepMind team. The film, inspired by McNitt’s birth story, follows an expectant mother dealing with her unborn baby’s heart defect. While traditional actors and sets are used, AI models like Google’s Gemini, Imagen, and Veo vividly depict the baby’s heart and the mother’s thoughts. This film exemplifies how AI is reshaping creative workflows, raising questions about the future of filmmaking jobs and content creation.
