What if we could truly see the past—not as distant history, but as lived experience?
In this piece from my AI Filmmaking class, I used an old black-and-white photo of my father to recreate the day he arrived in France during World War II. The words are his. The moment is his. But the medium is entirely new.
Through AI, something unexpected happened—he didn’t just appear… he came back to life with a clarity I had never seen before.
Perhaps this is one of the most powerful aspects of AI filmmaking: the ability to reconnect with those who came before us. Not as memories, but as moments we can witness again.
