Overview

• Moonvalley closed an $84 million funding round led by General Catalyst with participation from CAA, Comcast Ventures, CoreWeave, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator, bringing its total investment to $154 million.
• Marey became generally available on July 8 with tiered subscriptions starting at $14.99 a month and bespoke enterprise plans for major studios and independent filmmakers.
• The AI model is trained exclusively on licensed footage and Moonvalley plans to publish detailed sourcing to distinguish itself from competitors that rely on unlicensed data.
• Studios are deploying Marey for tasks ranging from background B-roll to special effects, and a select few are testing the tool for key scene production.
• CEO Naeem Talukdar says Marey will augment human creativity rather than replace it and help expand film slates by improving quality and reducing costs.
