Netflix acquires Affleck's AI film tech company
Los Angeles Times
|March 06, 2026
Firm will retain entire team at InterPositive, which the actor launched in 2022.
In 2022, Ben Affleck became so fixated on AI in film production that he quietly launched his own film tech company, InterPositive.
Netflix brought the startup into the spotlight Thursday morning as it announced the full acquisition of the company. InterPositive's mission, which focuses on developing "AI-powered tools built by and for filmmakers" and using new technology to "protect and expand creative choice," will now be exclusive to Netflix. In a news release, the streamer said it is "investing in creator-led innovation that keeps filmmakers at the center of the process."
Netflix said it will bring on InterPositive's entire team and keep Affleck as a senior advisor as part of the acquisition.
