InterPositive

A Los Angeles AI start-up that builds post-production tools for filmmakers, founded by actor and director Ben Affleck in 2022 and run in stealth for years.

Its system ingests a production's own footage (dailies) and trains a custom model on it, which filmmakers can then use in post-production for work such as relighting shots, colour and mix work, wire removal, reframing and visual effects. Affleck has said it is "not about text-prompting or generating something from nothing", and reports describe it as neither a generative video company nor a general model provider.

Netflix announced on 5 March 2026 that it had acquired InterPositive, with all 16 team members joining Netflix and Affleck becoming a senior adviser. Netflix said it would offer the tools to its creative partners rather than sell them commercially.
