InterPositive provides film crews with trainable AI tools that use their own materials, focusing on practical post-production enhancements rather than wholesale, one-click film generation.

Netflix acquired InterPositive in March 2026 for about $587 million in cash, integrating the team with Affleck as a senior consultant.

Affleck’s early AI experience includes direct engagement with tech firms like Google and OpenAI, shaping his view on controllable, film-focused AI tools.

Netflix notes that roughly 300 of its productions have already used generative AI tools, underscoring a need for solutions that empower artists instead of replacing them.

Netflix’s press release states that the InterPositive model concentrates on film techniques and does not involve actors’ performances, addressing concerns about actors and writers in AI workflows.

Affleck maintains cautious optimism about AI in filmmaking, emphasizing controllability, training-data oversight, and the broader impact on children's AI use.

In 2022, Affleck quietly founded an AI post-production company, InterPositive, to develop controllable tools tailored for filmmaking.

Ben Affleck has long harbored interest in AI and post-production technology, complementing his film career.

Affleck and InterPositive stress training on film-specific data (dailies) and keeping ownership of training materials and results with the crew.
