  • Dhar Mann Studios launched 40 exclusive vertical titles for My Drama in 2026.

What critics are saying

  • ReelShort, DramaBox, and ShortMax already dominate overseas microdrama distribution.
  • Holywater depends on Fox and Dhar Mann; partner churn destroys its content pipeline.
  • If My Drama CAC rises, Apple and Google policy changes can break growth economics.

What makes HOLYWATER TECH unique

  • My Drama spans 100 million users across vertical video, books, and AI series.
  • Fox Entertainment took an equity stake in October 2025 and backs 200 titles.
  • February 2026 Jeynix acquisition adds face replacement, de-aging, and lip-sync tools in-house.

Microdrama giant Holywater acquires AI VFX firm Jeynix, rebrands as Holywater Tech

Holywater, an AI-first vertical video company, has acquired visual effects firm Jeynix and rebranded as Holywater Tech. The Ukrainian-founded company operates microdramas platform My Drama, books platform My Passion and AI streaming platform My Muse, targeting the US vertical video market. Jeynix, founded in 2024, specialises in facial animation, face replacement, de-aging and lip-sync technology. The acquisition will enable Holywater Tech to deliver cinematic-quality visuals whilst maintaining low budgets and enabling rapid market localisation. The move follows Holywater's $22 million financing round last month and recent partnerships with Fox Entertainment. Fox took an equity stake in October 2025 and committed to producing over 200 shows over two years, later partnering with YouTube creator Dhar Mann for 40 titles on My Drama.
