Overview

• Darren Aronofsky launched Primordial Soup, a creative venture focused on integrating AI tools into filmmaking, in collaboration with Google DeepMind.
• The partnership provides early access to DeepMind’s generative AI tools, including the Veo video model and Flow editing tool, for three filmmaker-led projects.
• The first film, 'Ancestra,' directed by Eliza McNitt, combines live-action performances with AI-generated visuals inspired by personal and scientific themes.
• Two additional AI-assisted short films are in development, exploring new applications of Veo, though details have not yet been released.
• The initiative emphasizes ethical AI use, maintaining artistic control and collaboration between filmmakers and DeepMind researchers to shape the tools' evolution.
