Beyond Vision

As Generative AI becomes an integral part of creative workflows, Chromista

stands at the forefront, partnering with the very labs shaping this technology.

Together, we're expanding the boundaries of what can be dreamt

into existence and the stories that are now possible to tell.

ANCESTRA

Written & Directed by Eliza McNitt
Executive Produced by Darren Aronofsky

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.

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.

Experiments
& Explorations

Generative AI is not just a tool,  it’s a lens through which we can rethink ideas, narrative, and collaboration. We’re defining the creative potential of this moment, artistically and responsibly.

We're not chasing the future.

We're building it–
one frame at a time.
