Lionsgate and Runway have entered into a first-of-its-kind partnership centered around the creation and training of a new AI model, customized on Lionsgate’s proprietary catalog. Fundamentally designed to help Lionsgate Studios, its filmmakers, directors and other creative talent augment their work, the model generates cinematic video that can be further iterated using Runway’s suite of controllable tools. “Runway is a visionary, best-in-class partner who will help us utilize AI to develop cutting edge, capital efficient content creation opportunities,” said Lionsgate Vice Chair Michael Burns. “Several of our filmmakers are already excited about its potential applications to their pre-production and post-production process. We view AI as a great tool for augmenting, enhancing and supplementing our current operations.” “We’re committed to giving artists, creators and studios the best and most powerful tools to augment their workflows and enable new ways of bringing their stories to life. The history of art is the history of technology and these new models are part of our continuous efforts to build transformative mediums for artistic and creative expression; the best stories are yet to be told.” said Runway co-founder and CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela. “Lionsgate has an incredible creative team and a clear vision for how AI can help their work – we’re excited to help bring their ideas to life.” As we continue our work with Lionsgate and other studios, we’re also considering ways to license or otherwise offer these models as templates that can be made available to individual creators interested in building and training their own proprietary models.

Today, we are announcing the launch of the Runway Talent Network, a media platform for creatives to showcase and discover creative work. The Talent Network is a new kind of creative network where studios, production companies, and independent creatives can display their work and talent. With tens of millions of users and many thousands of companies now using Runway, we consistently heard that one of the most recurrent needs was finding new talent and professionals to help integrate AI into diverse workflows—from concepting and pre-production to final frames. The Talent Network not only allows creatives to show their work, but also find jobs and new work opportunities from brands, agencies and studios looking for professional talent. The Talent Network comprises independent artists and creatives, many of whom are members of Runway’s Creative Partner Program, as well as leading production companies that are early adopters of AI and are currently pioneering new workflows within their industries. Among the inaugural roster of production companies is EDGLRD, founded by acclaimed director Harmony Korine. Korine is known for his distinctive, often experimental and provocative films such as Kids (1995), Gummo (1997), Spring Breakers (2012), and The Beach Bum (2019). EDGLRD is a digital IP-based studio that produces cutting-edge worlds in film, gaming, advertising and sensory experiences. “Our collaboration with Runway marks a turning point in how technology and creative production intersect. At EDGLRD, we’re always thinking about how to push boundaries, and Runway’s Talent Network is an essential step towards connecting innovative artists and brands with the tools they need to redefine what’s possible.”
