This brings the company's total funding to $154 million [3].
The funding will support Moonvalley's efforts to enhance its AI video tool, Marey, which has been released to the public after successful testing with filmmakers and studios. Marey is sold on a subscription and licensing basis, starting at $14.99 a month. The company is trained on licensed content and has addressed copyright concerns by using content from independent filmmakers and YouTubers [3].

Moonvalley's Marey is trained on licensed content, addressing these concerns [3].
Moonvalley is one of the few companies working directly with major studios, offering AI tools for various aspects of film production. The company believes that AI will not replace creative ideas but rather enhance them, leading to better and more films [3].
