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.
