Vivian Yin’s Y+X Entertainment Group has enlisted more than 50 authors and screenwriters, including several New York Times best-selling writers, for its LumiCreator network ahead of the launch of its new premium vertical video platform, LumiView.
The authors hail from a variety of disciplines—sci-fi, fantasy, thriller, romance, mystery, and speculative fiction—as LumiCreator builds out a network of artists to develop short-form IP for LumiView, set for a beta launch in the fall.
Yin, founder and CEO of Y+X, was a guest on ScreenMDM Talks earlier this year, weighing in on her premium vision for the vertical video space. Read/watch that conversation here.
Featured creators and titles in the mix include Tosca Lee, whose Demon is now being adapted into a premium cinematic vertical series for LumiView, with production taking place in South Korea; Kathy Tyers and her Firebird IP; Christy Barritt and her novel Hidden Currents in collaboration with independent production partner Fear Not Productions; Lorie Langdon, author of the acclaimed Doon series; Candace Kade’s Enhanced; and Sara Ella, author of The Wonderland Trials.
“The initial LumiCreator network reflects both the creative range and global ambition of LumiView,” Yin said. “We are thrilled to welcome some of the world’s most accomplished authors into the LumiCreator network and to develop their stories for LumiView. Together, we are building a slate of premium, creator-driven stories that we believe can help redefine the vertical storytelling landscape.
“We see vertical video as the next structural evolution in how audiences discover and engage with narrative entertainment. We believe the future belongs to companies building lasting infrastructure—not just scaling content volume, but creating enduring value through original IP, creator ecosystems, and franchise development.”
