The first actress created by AI will have her own cinematic universe

Eline van der Velden, creator behind Tilly Norwood, is at the peak of an ambitious and rapid expansion for her digital creation. Her vision includes building a complete universe surrounding this character, which could transform the way digital narratives develop in an increasingly AI-centered world.

An actress who still has no movies

As part of this expansion process, Van der Velden has appointed Mark Whelan, who has a notable background at Prime Video, as head of strategy and operations at its new AI talent studio, called Xicoia. This appointment suggests a professional and strategic approach to the development of its work, supported by Whelan’s experience in the digital entertainment industry.

Whelan will be responsible for defining the strategy and operations of Xicoia, which means he will play a crucial role in how Van der Velden’s vision will be developed and executed. His experience at Prime Video is expected to enable him to drive initiatives that support the creation of innovative and dynamic content, integrating artificial intelligence technology into the creative process.

The expansion of Van der Velden and the formation of the Xicoia studio could mark an important milestone at the intersection of artificial intelligence and digital content creation. While some rumors suggest that this new approach could change the consumer experience in interactive entertainment, there are still various uncertainties about how exactly this integration will take place. As more details develop, the community of creators and content developers will be watching closely to see how this project could influence the industry.
