Wonder Project, the independent producer of series like House of David and Netflix alum Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten, has partnered with AI startup Luma to launch Innovative Dreams, a new company that combines production services provider, R&D lab, and post-production and visual effects house. The new company is backed by Amazon Web Services and championing a new method of "real-time hybrid filmmaking" called "Hybrid Filmmaking". It infuses generative AI technology into every stage of production, aiming to widen access to tools previously only available to A-listers like James Cameron. The company’s CEO, Jon Erwin, believes this new approach is a new paradigm that emphasizes the importance of human actors and emphasizes their performances. The launch is part of a larger effort to bring more productions back to American stages and strengthen the local crew, stage and production ecosystem.
