AI Studio Morphic Sets Bold Vision With Cyberpunk Anime DQN and $1M Creator Fund — GeekTyrant
AI production studio Morphic is stepping into the anime arena with its first original series, DQN , and alongside the announcement of the new show, the company is launching a $1 million creator fund aimed at helping emerging filmmakers bring their wildest ideas to life, whether that's in animation, live-action, games, or comics. The series, DQN , comes from creator Kushagra Kushwaha, an anime filmmaker originally from India who now works out of Tokyo. If you've watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean on Netflix or Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest on Crunchyroll, Amazon, or Apple, you've already seen his work in action. His new series is set in a hyper-digital, cyberpunk world run by decentralized networks and AI systems. The story centers on twelve strangers, each locked in a high-stakes race to uncover the secrets of a hidden vault, one that could 'rewrite the rules of power.' 'Kush is an exceptionally gifted filmmaker with an incredibly deep understanding of anime as an art form and I couldn't be more proud to make 'DQN' our first anime series,' said Morphic founder Jaynti Kanani. 'Morphic is committed to putting state-of-the-art tech in the hands of the world's most talented filmmakers and we're excited to launch our first creator's fund to invite even more talented storytellers onto our platform.' That creator fund is meant to support up-and-coming voices across formats, from shorts and features to comics and games. The goal is to offer filmmakers access to AI tools that can enhance production speed and creative scale, all while keeping the vision in the hands of the artists. Kushwaha shared his excitement about the collaboration: 'I'm passionate about using cutting-edge tech to bring this form of storytelling to the widest possible global audience. 'I'm thrilled to be working with JD and the Morphic team, who are using AI to democratize this genre, accelerate its speed to market and help a new generation of artists fulfill their most ambitious creative ideas.' Between DQN and the new fund, Morphic is clearly aiming to be more than just another AI startup. It's staking a claim in the future of entertainment, one that blends human creativity with smart tools to help tell their stories. Source: Variety

JioStar's Sports Chief Reveals Billion-Viewer IPL Strategy at APOS
JioStar CEO of sports and live experiences Sanjog Gupta delivered a masterclass in sports platform strategy during the APOS 2025 conference, revealing how the Indian media giant achieved its 'audacious' goal of reaching one billion viewers for the Indian Premier League cricket tournament while transforming the country's sports consumption landscape. Speaking at the 'Sports Transformation: Velocity, Value & Impact in India' session, Gupta credited the platform's success to a fundamental shift away from traditional content-centric thinking toward what he called 'user-first design principles.' Advertisement More from Variety 'We don't look to serve many fans as one, but look to serve almost each fan as many,' Gupta explained to the audience. 'Every fan at different points of time and on different devices and in different modes of consumption, will consume your content differently.' The strategy has paid off dramatically. JioStar not only reached its billion-viewer target for IPL 2025 but also made it 'the most monetized edition of the event and also the most monetized sporting event ever in India across advertising and subscription revenues,' according to Gupta. The platform's hybrid subscription model proved crucial to this success. Rather than implementing a traditional paywall, JioStar allows users to sample content freely before converting them to paid subscribers. Advertisement 'The model is based on real life example of how you shop, which is you go into a mall or a store, you sample enough and more of what you may want to look at, and then choose to pay for deeper engagement,' he said. This approach helped drive subscriber numbers to close to 80 million paying users during the IPL season, representing what Gupta called 'a tectonic shift in the paying population in India.' Gupta emphasized that JioStar's investment strategy extends far beyond rights acquisition. Over the past decade and a half, the company has invested more than $500 million in growing sports properties through marketing, production and technology development — separate from rights fees. In 2022, the IPL rights were bought for $6.2 billion by the two entities who have since merged to form JioStar. 'There's a joke in the company that all the money that Kevin [Vaz, CEO of entertainment] makes is actually spent by Sanjog,' Gupta quipped, referencing the cross-platform benefits of sports viewership driving consumption of other content genres. Advertisement The platform's sports portfolio strategy mirrors its user-centric philosophy. Beyond cricket's nine-month calendar, JioStar has grown English Premier League viewership 3.5 times over five years through localization efforts, while continuing to invest in traditional Indian sports like kabaddi. 'We have looked to grow English Premier League significantly over the last five years… largely on the back of localization efforts, where we've taken Premier League deeper into the Indian sports ecosystem than ever before by producing it in languages meant for regions which have affinity for football [soccer],' Gupta said. The executive also highlighted JioStar's expansion into live events, including partnerships with global acts like Coldplay, as part of creating 'infinite possibilities on the platform' that blend sports and entertainment experiences. Looking ahead, Gupta outlined the platform's design principles for global applicability: inclusivity (maximizing platform access), intuitive user experiences (minimizing friction), interactivity (leveraging digital's two-way communication), and immersion (creating deeply engaging experiences). Advertisement 'These are design principles which, to our minds, are pretty much applicable to any platform around the world,' he concluded. Following Gupta's presentation, JioStar released its comprehensive 'TATA IPL 2025: A Year of Firsts' report in partnership with Media Partners Asia. The detailed analysis revealed the tournament's unprecedented scale, with 1.19 billion total reach across TV and digital platforms, 47% female viewership on linear television, and JioHotstar growing to 300 million subscribers. The report highlighted breakthrough technological innovations including multi-camera feeds, 360-degree VR streaming, AI-powered match highlights, and accessibility features like Indian Sign Language interpretation. With over 425 advertisers participating and 270+ brands making their IPL debut, the tournament demonstrated the commercial viability of JioStar's user-centric approach across 40 unique advertising categories.
