Google Hires Henry Daubrez as Filmmaker in Residence to Drive Flow Adoption

The move signals a creator-first strategy to refine Flow through real-world use.

Overview

  • Google Labs brought Daubrez on to create new content with Flow, advise on product direction, and mentor filmmakers through Flow Sessions.
  • Flow Sessions will provide complimentary access to Flow along with guidance and mentorship for participating creators.
  • Google rolled out Flow earlier this year in tandem with a partnership with Darren Aronofsky’s Primordial Soup to showcase professional use cases.
  • Daubrez used Flow to make the short Electric Pink and is developing The Enchanted Door, an interactive project that lets users influence the story.
  • Google points to improved model quality enabling three- to four-minute shorts as it faces competition from Meta and OpenAI and as studios explore cost gains despite copyright concerns.
