US EditionNetflix Acquires AI Filmmaking Startup Founded by Ben Affleck
Netflix integrates InterPositive's 16-person team to enhance filmmaking with AI tools that assist production and postproduction without commercial sales.
- Netflix acquired InterPositive, the Los Angeles-based AI filmmaking startup, and will bring the 16-person team onboard with no disclosed deal terms.
- InterPositive developed AI tools focused on production tasks to assist filmmakers during production and postproduction, focusing on technical support rather than generating actors or scripts.
- Affleck says the tools can remove wires, reframe shots, shape lighting, and allow directors to upload dailies to train models, focusing on postproduction tasks.
- Netflix says it will offer InterPositive's tools to creative partners, describing the move as expanding creative freedom and supporting storytellers, without intending to sell the technology.
- The move follows a separate Artists Equity partnership earlier this week, deepening Netflix's ties with Affleck as he pitches AI to lower costs and barriers for industry and indie filmmakers.
