Original IP / Branded Content / Co-Production
X Future Limited is a Hong Kong based content company operating an AI short drama full-chain business. We develop original stories, run in-house production across 2D, 3D and live-action formats, and distribute titles to audiences worldwide — built on 16 years of animation and film production experience.
Sixteen years ago we set out in animation. For sixteen years we have been creating content — and nurturing the people who create it. Today that accumulated craft goes into AI short drama.
Founded in 2010. Thirteen years in animation and film production with more than 200 titles delivered, before expanding into live-action short drama in 2023 and AI-driven production in 2025.
Writing, directing, production, AI, post-production and operations — a closed loop of 120+ full-chain professionals backed by a team of 200+. Core creative work is never outsourced.
Our Shili Fenghe base spans 380+ built sets across more than 100,000 m² and hosts close to 2,000 production crews each year, with partner studios and a talent pipeline on site.
Deep AIGC integration with standardised workflows lowers per-title cost, while experienced creative teams keep narrative quality under human control.
The facilities and people behind our output — from the studio building to the sets, the workspace and the team.
Four production lines running in parallel — 2D animation, 3D animation, photoreal live-action and branded interactive content — plus a full service chain from concept to delivery.
Animated vertical drama series produced in 2D style. Fantasy, xianxia and romance genres built for platform audiences.
Cinematic 3D animated series with higher production value, produced for both domestic and international platforms.
Photoreal performance drama produced with our in-house crews and production base facilities. Our strongest overseas category.
Commissioned, story-driven productions where the client's brand takes the lead — plus interactive AI drama and film & gaming content.
Titles produced by our team, with aggregate viewership across international short-drama platforms.
Note: Some images are platform screenshots showing partial platform data only, and do not represent final cross-platform totals. Titles may appear under different localised names across individual distribution platforms.
A closed production loop that keeps output volume and story quality under control.
In-house writers adapt proven genres and hooks into serialised short-form scripts, stress-tested on retention and payoff structure before production begins.
Production runs at our own base with in-house crews, AI tooling and post-production, giving us control over schedule, cost and final quality.
Titles are localised, subtitled and released through international short-drama platforms, with performance data feeding back into the next slate.
Four differences that come from sixteen years of doing this — not from a recent pivot.
16 years in animation means we understand framing, pacing, character and storytelling. Nearly 2,000 crews a year at our live-action base means we understand the market and the audience — content people behind the AI.
Writing → directing → production → AI → post → operations, all in-house. Stable capacity, stable quality, on-time delivery.
Deep AIGC integration plus standardised workflows lower per-title cost, with flexible capacity that responds quickly to market demand.
A 10-year talent system with unified standards, six review gates per title, and core-team quality control on every release.
We work with platforms, rights holders and brands under several collaboration structures.
You bring the script or IP — we bring the production capacity end to end.
