Ancestra
From the Soul to the Cosmos

Ancestra is a short film by Eliza McNitt that tells the story of a mother confronting the unthinkable when her child is born with a hole in her heart. Inspired by the dramatic circumstances of McNitt’s own birth, the film frames maternal love as a cosmic, life-saving force. Produced by Darren Aronofsky, Ancestra marks the first release from Primordial Soup, in partnership with Google DeepMind.

GrandArmy collaborated with Eliza McNitt, Primordial Soup, and Google DeepMind to design the film’s title, key art, lower thirds, and credits.
