Refinery Media's SupermodelMe reality franchise is set for a vertical adaptation courtesy of the Singaporean production company's deal with microdrama giant COL Group International.

Refinery Media co-founders Karen Seah and Tan Sian Ju and virtual production specialist Joel Lim have joined forces to launch Gengis AI, which is being touted as Singapore's first production-ready AI-enabled studio.

Man of the Hour, an eight-episode series focused on the craft of modern watchmaking, is in the works for Discovery from Refinery Media and Wei Koh, founder of Revolution magazine.
