Turnpost Launches from Stealth with AI-Infused Film, Streaming, and Video Production Platform Turnpost’s infrastructure, incorporating the latest AI functionality throughout, allows for early decision-making, mitigating downstream risks, and exposing costly issues in development and pre-production instead of fixing everything in post—all without impacting the human creative process. AI-generated content is not destined for the screen; it solely exists to help execute the filmmaker’s creative vision.

PHOENIX, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Turnpost Launches from Stealth with AI-Infused Film, Streaming, and Video Production Platform

The platform leverages emerging technologies to solve a multitude of challenges. Enhancing creativity, not disrupting it. The company has developed a comprehensive approach to creative expression, asset management, collaboration, budgeting, and security with its “Living Storyboard” solution.

Saves Up to 20% of Production Budget Without Impacting Human Creative Expression, Turnpost Brings Pre- and Post-Production Management Into the future;

Pre-Seed Money of $1M with First Movie Production Deals Already in Place

Turnpost today launched out of stealth with details about its pending new AI-infused platform for cutting edge video content production across film, streaming, and network television content. The company has raised $1M in an early friends and family round led by entertainment and technology angel investor Earl Jarred.

At the time of its launch, the platform has already signed up three Hollywood feature films in development, all set to adopt the solution in 2025. Acclaimed producer Andy Horwitz, known for his work on Dark Night, Suicide Squad, and American Hustle, will use it on his next two projects, further solidifying the platform’s credibility. A biopic/adventure production about discovering the North Pole has also joined the list of projects eager to harness the power of Turnpost’s unique features.

Turnpost is specifically addressing the oft-maligned, cumbersome and resource-wasting production pipeline, which is traditionally deployed in long-form content creation for film, episodic, and streaming. This early 20th century production methodology results in a pipeline that has difficulty exposing creative challenges while in development & pre-production, increasing risks downstream.

Turnpost’s design, incorporating the latest AI functionality throughout, allows for early decision-making, mitigating downstream risks, and exposing costly issues in development and pre-production instead of fixing everything in post—all without impacting the human creative process. AI-generated content is not destined for the screen; it solely exists to help execute the filmmaker’s creative vision.

The platform leverages emerging technologies to solve a multitude of challenges. Enhancing creativity, not disrupting it. The company has developed a comprehensive approach to creative expression, asset management, collaboration, budgeting, and security with its “Living Storyboard” solution.

Turnpost’s “Living Storyboard” ingests and comprehends screenplays, generating previsualization assets from animatics to cinematic video. It provides previously impossible levels of control and refinement using advanced multi-modal AI. Integrated tools allow seamless collaboration across teams of all sizes, powered by creative-friendly version control and workflow features.

“Progressive Refinement”, an innovation utilized throughout Turnpost’s design, allows for iteratively enhancing the granular details. All aspects of a scene can be tailored to the creative vision, including cinematography, locations, costumes, sets, movement, and sound. A deep understanding of screenplay concepts is foundational to the platform, providing time-saving features. For example, its comprehension of timelines automatically propagates refinements made in one scene to all related scenes.

“With the launch of Turnpost, the standard response of ‘fix it in post’ will become a bad memory of the past,” said Tom Granberg, CEO of Turnpost. “Our team comes from the Hollywood mainstream. All of us have suffered in the past with the deficiencies of the old way of production – shooting multiple takes of a scene hoping to get the perfect shot, trying to fix out-of-control production and post costs, and more. We have created a platform to be used and appreciated as much by the production team as the creatives – our deployment of AI is a tool supporting the creative process, never replacing it!”

Features of the Turnpost platform (expected to leave Beta in Q4, 2024) include:

AI-powered Script ComprehensionGenerated previsualization animatics and cinematic videoProgressive Refinement of visual and audio detailsComprehensive asset management from pre-production to postShot comprehension and analysis for natural language searchLive budget impacts from all changesIntegrated encryption and biometrics, fully controlled by studios and clientsLive and secure collaboration between team membersSecure guest accessCreative-friendly version controlChange management workflowsPlugin architecture for industry-standard software toolsEnd-to-end encrypted cloud or hybrid options to meet client security requirementsConsistent and familiar interface for emerging and changing technologies

Envision Marks First International Application of SAFc at Global Citizen NOW, Providing Environmental Attributes Corresponding to 10 Tonnes of CO₂ Emissions Reductions

Published

By

SYDNEY, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, a global leader in green technology, expanded its Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificate (SAFc) solution internationally as the Sustainability Partner of Global Citizen NOW: Perth. This marks the company’s first international application of SAFc, demonstrating a practical pathway to integrate aviation decarbonization into the sustainability practices of major global events.

For this event, Envision delivered environmental attributes corresponding to 10 tonnes of CO₂ emissions reductions. These reductions are linked to the actual production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with the associated attributes recorded and retired through a leading global Registry to ensure transparency and traceability.

Alongside this initiative, Envision’s Australian team participated in the event’s broader programme, including discussions on clean energy investment and industrial decarbonisation, bilateral meetings, and the Capital Mobilization Roundtable and Masterclass. Through these engagements, the team exchanged perspectives with leaders from business, investment and the climate community on Western Australia’s potential role in the next-generation green industries, while exploring opportunities to strengthen collaboration, mobilize investment and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Co-hosted by Global Citizen and the Government of Western Australia, the summit took place ahead of COP31, convening representatives from governments, businesses, philanthropic foundations, and First Nations communities to advance clean energy access, climate resilience, and inclusive economic development.

The Perth SAFc initiative builds on Envision’s SAFc application at the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) in Xiamen in September, where the company demonstrated how SAFc could address the air-travel emissions of a major conference. Global Citizen NOW: Perth represents the next step—applying this model internationally and demonstrating its potential as a scalable solution for companies and major events seeking to tackle aviation-related emissions across global value chains.

The initiative also reflects Envision’s broader approach to corporate decarbonisation. Across wind and solar power, energy storage, green molecules, net-zero industrial parks, and green computing, Envision is developing integrated solutions to help companies tackle emissions across their operations and value chains.

“Envision will continue to explore the application of green fuels across aviation and international events, foster collaboration throughout the green fuel value chain, and support aviation’s low-carbon transition through transparent, traceable environmental attribute management,” said Bella Zhang, Head of Global SAF at Envision.
