14 filmmakers made 13 films entirely on Flick platform
Flick paired its $6 million seed round with a finished slate of films made on its own platform. The launch includes a residency where 14 filmmakers produced 13 films entirely using Flick, turning the product pitch into actual shipped work instead of demos.
The company is positioning itself as an AI-native filmmaking toolkit with nonlinear workflows, cinematic controls, and iterative tools so creators can direct films themselves. It was founded by filmmaker Zoey Zhang and Instagram Stories founding engineer Rui Cromwell, with Lightspeed backing the round and YC’s Garry Tan calling it one of the strongest new creative startups in the current batch.
