AI filmmaking just hit another level — and Floating Tiger Films is at the center of it.
In this episode, John Ayers sits down with Devansh Mathur and Kusuma Santapoori, the creative team behind some of the most viral AI-powered ads and short films coming out of India and beyond. Their studio, Floating Tiger Films, has exploded from zero clients to global demand in under a year — and their storytelling approach is redefining what’s possible.
We dig into:
• How they build cinematic AI frames that feel human
• The tools behind their workflow (Seedream, Seedance, Veo, Nano, Midjourney)
• Why story is becoming the last real moat in an AI-saturated world
• India’s rise as a global hub for AI-first creative work
• The lack of women in AI filmmaking — and what Kusuma wants to change
• Creative slop vs. intentional filmmaking
• Where AI advertising and long-form storytelling are heading next
• How emotional intelligence might become the next true human advantage
This conversation is a rare inside look at the future of creative work — fast, raw, global, and deeply human.
