Directr Raises $1.1 Million To Help People Make Beautiful Mobile Movies

directr_funding_poster_01-686x1024There's been a lot of talk about how mobile video applications are poised to break out and become mainstream over the next few years, as users take advantage of the cameras they have in their pockets and share the videos they shoot with others on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. This has given rise to the whole "Instagram for video" meme, in which app makers compete to be the next billion-dollar company to make sharing beautiful media easy. There's just one problem -- the videos being produced by today's generation of social mobile video apps just aren't really that beautiful or compelling.Directr seeks to change all that, with a mobile app that helps average users to create beautiful videos that their friends will actually want to watch. And to do so, it's raised a $1.1 million seed round from NextView Ventures, Boston Seed Capital, Advancit Capital, and Initialized Capital, as well as from angels like Thomas Lehrman, Ron Shah, and Joe Caruso.
