Flick Raises $6M Seed Round to Redefine How AI Films Are Created>

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Flick (flick.art), an AI-native filmmaking platform founded by award-winning filmmaker Zoey Zhang and founding Instagram engineer Ray Wang, today announced it has raised $6 million in a seed round from True Ventures, GV (Google Ventures), Y Combinator, Lightspeed, Formosa Capital, Pioneer Fund, Olive Tree Capital, and N1 in addition to angel investors. Flick was built around a simple belief: AI should enhance filmmaking, not replace it. Instead of another one-click video generator, Flick gives filmmakers cinematic control through an AI-native creative workflow designed for storytelling, iteration, and artistic direction. Flick will use the seed funding to accelerate product development, expand its core creative tooling for cinematic control, and grow the company’s community of filmmakers. The team is also launching Flick Filmmaker Residency, debuting with 10+ short AI-native films created by emerging filmmakers and showcased at Cinequest Film Festival, MIT, and Omni AI film festival. Each cohort is led by Co-founder Zhang, providing filmmakers with access to industry resources, mentorship, and meaningful connections throughout the creative process.
