Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs.
He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center.
We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.
Positive users call Martin Scorsese advising Black Forest Labs on FLUX AI storyboarding a huge inspiring win for creators, while negative users accuse the move of being a sellout promotion of junk technology.

Seeing Martin Scorsese using FLUX for storyboarding and scene exploration was absolutely insane. Experiencing how one of the absolute masters of cinema & filmmaking uses the technology that we developed, his curiosity and creativity, and the way he prompted our models, was humbling.
I am grateful to call Martin Scorsese an advisor to BFL, and to explore the next, multimodal and interactive phases of visual AI with him.
"The fact that someone like Martin Scorsese — one of the greatest, most impressive filmmakers to exist — is using our technology and curious about exploring it...it's such a great proof point that this works.”
- our CEO @robrombach in an interview with @brooksbarnes for the @nytimes. They discussed why Martin Scorsese joined BFL as an advisor.
At Black Forest Labs, we're building visual intelligence: AI models that can understand and reason in the physical and digital worlds. Scorsese is helping shape how our models serve creators who care deeply about their craft, whether they're storytellers, designers, engineers, or roboticists.

It's not everyday you get the opportunity to go into Martin Scorsese's office with Michael Ovitz, @AnjneyMidha and the amazing @bfl_ai team!
What an incredible product and time we're living in where models like FLUX give creators new tools to visualize their creations.

I see videos like this and get excited… it’s the old guard embracing new tech. Then I remember the polarizing reaction ahead - perhaps Scorsese is impervious to such pressures?

it may not be obvious, but it takes immense courage for someone like Martin to embrace new technologies like this
he is an inspiration to those of us wondering whether to embrace these tools or dismiss them as just another Silicon Valley fad

@Variety What is it with elderly people being so susceptible to AI
2 yrs ago, when @robrombach and team founded BFL, one name on their list of advisors stood out to me
Martin Scorsese, the dean of cinema himself
glad the world is starting to get a peek now of the incredible things they’ve been working on together

He puts it perfectly ("cinematic intelligence"):
“There's always been this problem of how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew. There are some things you have to see and feel. … Now with this tool, I can share what I'm visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team—the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer—for them to build on to enrich cinematic intelligence."

Glad to see my friends at Black Forest Labs reach new heights and receive the support of one of the most prestigious and talented directors.
Martin Scorsese is backing an AI startup called Black Forest Labs, which he says he intends to use for storyboard purposes:
“Remember, cinema is a young medium, only around 125 years old, so we have to be open to how it can evolve."
@bfl_ai @carlfranzen @robrombach @BrooksBarnes Are your models built using other people’s copyrighted images & videos?
And is Scorsese aware of the answer to this question?
@Variety And I’m interested in having a planet still to live on, but suuuuuure, you inability to storyboard is more important.Fucking rich idiots
@Variety Using AI is effectively just another special effect like CGI. and as shown, Scorsese is not adverse to such technological advancements.

Visual intelligence is a medium that can be used in so many different ways, from cinematic exploration to physical AI deployments. Storyboarding with Martin Scorsese is one expression of an even bigger idea we are building towards at Black Forest Labs.

@oldtoons_ @Variety Because it's a tool just like any other tool. Learn it or get left behind.
@bfl_ai Well, this meme didn't age well 😂😂😂
@AaronNagler @Variety Yeah, their careers are safe. But how can someone like Scorsese not see that his support for AI in cinema will shut the door for next Scorsese, Tarantino or Villeneuve to even get a chance to develop their craft
