A new language is emerging in filmmaking – one where directors don’t just block scenes and choose lenses, but compose with words that sculpt images.
In this roundtable, Eliza McNitt (Chromista) and John Soat (Google Creative Lab), the creators of ANCESTRA – a generative short film that was produced in collaboration with Google DeepMind and Creative Lab – open up a deeply personal conversation about how poetic language became the creative foundation of their process.
