Netflix acquired InterPositive, Ben Affleck's AI filmmaking startup, for up to $600M — one of its largest deals ever. InterPositive builds custom AI models trained on a production's own footage to handle relighting, continuity fixes, and VFX in post-production. With only 16 team members joining, the deal highlights how domain-specific AI built by practitioners can command outsized valuations. This signals a shift where studios invest in AI that augments filmmakers, not replaces them.
