(SeaPRwire) – After a Variety exclusive feature at Hong Kong FILMART, Singapore-based studio Edenstone has obtained funding to grow its Spore Fall micro-drama into films, games, and collectible items
Singapore, March 25, 2026 — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Silver Media Fund Supports ‘Spore Fall’—Southeast Asia’s First AI-Powered Transmedia Franchise—Post Variety Exclusive at Hong Kong FILMART
SINGAPORE, MARCH 25, 2026 — Edenstone revealed today that Silver Media Fund (SMF) has agreed to organize and head a capital raising effort for Spore Fall, the studio’s flagship intellectual property (IP). This funding will support the transmedia growth of Southeast Asia’s first micro-drama series—written by humans and brought to life using AI—into feature films, games, and collectibles.
This development comes on the heels of a fruitful week for the Singapore studio, which landed an exclusive feature in Variety at Hong Kong FILMART 2026—Asia’s biggest entertainment content marketplace, where AI-powered content and micro-dramas were the top trending topics.
“Spore Fall represents the kind of high-quality, globally resonant IP we exist to back,” said Chan Gin Kai, Golden Horse Award–winning producer and CEO of Silver Media Group, which oversees SMF. “It originates from this region, speaks to global audiences, and is built with a clear transmedia roadmap. That combination is rare—and worth backing.”
Chan, who will serve as Executive Producer for Spore Fall, is bringing his investment platform’s support to expand the IP across various formats. Silver Media Fund is regulated by Singapore’s Monetary Authority (MAS) and managed by One Apex Capital—a MAS-licensed fund manager specializing in capital markets services.
From Micro-Drama to Full-Scale Franchise
Spore Fall is debuting as a 10-episode vertical micro-drama series—Edenstone’s flagship IP and Southeast Asia’s first project of this nature. Set in the made-up city of Lionara, the series centers on a disenchanted soldier and a renegade medic as a lethal spore pathogen outbreak looms, with the potential to either speed up human evolution or wipe out the species entirely.
Backed by SMF, the IP is now set to expand across several platforms:
- 2026: Launch of the micro-drama series (April to June)
- 2028: Theatrical release of a feature film
- Currently in development: A novel, games, and Web3 collectibles
An Innovative Production Model for Storytelling
Spore Fall incorporates generative AI into traditional production workflows, allowing agile teams to create high-quality, visually striking IP more quickly and efficiently—all while preserving creative control by human creators.
- Human-driven writing: Scripts, characters, emotional storylines, and world-building are all crafted by human creators
- AI-supported visuals: Generative AI tools, guided by tight creative oversight, speed up the creation of visual assets and high-concept world-building while working within a flexible budget
- Scalable production pipeline: This model allows for serialized, visually immersive content with long-term transmedia possibilities, produced by small, connected creative teams
“Our mission is to prove that a compact market like Singapore can build world-class genre IP without major studio backing,” said Joel Boh, creator and showrunner. “AI accelerates that journey—turning past constraints into our next creative frontier.”
Speculative Fiction Grounded in Regional Themes
Though focused on cutting-edge technology, Spore Fall is rooted in issues relevant to Southeast Asian communities: collective strength, changing power dynamics, and adapting in times of crisis. Through Spore Fall, Southeast Asia establishes itself as a hub for original genre storytelling—deeply connected to regional values, yet designed to resonate with global viewers.
