Wonder Studios is a London-based AI-native creative studio aiming to collapse the time between an idea and finished screen content. It blends advanced generative AI production layers with traditional filmmaking craft so directors can move from concept to cinematic output in days rather than months. Founded in April 2025 by Xavier Collins and Justin Hackney (an award-winning filmmaker and former Creative Director at ElevenLabs), Wonder is pushing into IP ownership and original content. Early work includes an AI-powered music video for Lewis Capaldi created with Google DeepMind, YouTube, and Universal Music Group, plus its original 'Beyond the Loop' anthology series. In October 2025 Wonder raised a $12M seed round led by Atomico, with Adobe Ventures, LocalGlobe, Blackbird, and Upside Ventures participating; pre-seed backers included executives from ElevenLabs, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI.
