Mark Stern and Lloyd Braun have launched Intelligent Animation, a new artist-led AI animation studio, with two shows slated for aTwist, the soon-to-launch microseries studio and platform co-founded by Braun, Jana Winograde, and Susan Rovner.

BET has aligned with aTwist (formerly known as MicroCo) to enter the microdrama space, with the two companies producing original series for multiple platforms, including long-form episodic content for cable distribution and vertical short-form for the aTwist platform.
