Spore Fall, Southeast Asia’s First AI-Powered Sci-Fi Universe, Lands Major Funding
SINGAPORE — March 25, 2026 — Following a Variety exclusive at Hong Kong FILMART, Singapore’s Edenstone Group has announced plans to expand its flagship IP Spore Fall from a breakout micro-drama into a multi-platform franchise spanning film, games, and collectibles—a move that coincides with what industry observers have identified as a pivotal moment for both the micro-drama format and generative AI’s evolving role in content production.
About Spore Fall
In Lionara, a city gripped by a deadly spore pathogen and ruled by an authoritarian regime, a disillusioned soldier and a rogue medic are forced together when an infected man's extraordinary abilities threaten to either save humanity—or end it.
Each episode runs at approximately three minutes, built for mobile viewing. Season 1 of this micro-drama is 10 episodes, launching free-to-view from March to June 2026 across sporefall.com, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and selected streaming partners.
The series is written by human creators and brought to life using AI-generated visuals, a production approach that keeps storytelling at the centre while using technology to make ambitious world-building possible at scale.
"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."
Golden Horse Award-Winning Producer Chan Gin Kai Backs Spore Fall
The series has attracted the backing of 2025 Golden Horse Awards winner Chan Gin Kai, CEO of Silver Media Group, who joins as Executive Producer.
"Spore Fall is exactly the kind of project the industry needs to watch," said Chan. "It keeps storytelling human while using AI as a tool to scale imagination. How we navigate that distinction will shape the next era of cinema.”
