AI video generation startup Luma has launched Innovative Dreams, a production company built in partnership with Wonder Project, a streaming service that produces religious films and TV on Amazon Prime. The tie-up's first show will be called 'The Old Stories: Moses,' starring British actor Ben Kingsley and set to launch this spring on Prime Video.

Why it matters

This partnership represents a significant shift in the film industry, as AI-powered tools are being used to make filmmaking faster, cheaper, and more efficient without sacrificing quality. It also highlights the growing demand for faith-based content, with Wonder Project targeting the global faith and values audience.

The details

Innovative Dreams is a production services company where seasoned filmmakers from Director Jon Erwin's team and Luma's creative technologists work together to help filmmakers realize ambitious ideas. Luma's tools, called Luma Agents, are designed to handle end-to-end creative work across text, image, video, and audio, allowing creative teams to collaborate in real-time and make changes to sets, props, and lighting, as well as bring in footage of human actors. This is seen as a significant improvement over current virtual production and performance capture processes.
