Founded in 2025, StarTrail produces AI live-action film & TV, AI animation, and AI commercials on a proprietary technology stack that delivers theatrical-grade imagery and character performance at a fraction of traditional timelines and cost.
In under a year, our work has been selected at the iQIYI Nadou AIGC Venture Summit, the Beijing International Film Festival AIGC Section, and the AAFF International Ark AI Film Festival, and we have co-produced with national institutions and leading streaming platforms.
