The sci-fi project introduces a hybrid production model in which human-authored scripts and narratives are brought to life through AI-generated visuals, targeting mobile-first audiences globally. Episodes run under three minutes each. Set in the fictional city of Lionara, the series centers on a disillusioned soldier and a rogue medic forced into an unlikely alliance after an infected man develops abilities that could accelerate human evolution — or trigger its end. A deadly spore pathogen outbreak serves as the backdrop, suppressed by an authoritarian regime.

Chan’s investment platform, Silver Media Fund — regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and managed by One Apex Capital — has also signed on to structure and lead a capital raise for the “Spore Fall” franchise, with transmedia expansion into feature films, games and collectibles planned. “It keeps storytelling human while using AI as a tool to scale imagination,” Chan said of the project. “Spore Fall” will launch as a free-to-view, 10-episode vertical series across its own website, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and selected streaming partners between March and June. A feature film is slated for theatrical release in 2028, to be followed by a novel, games and Web3 collectibles.
