An epic allegorical series that critiques modern internet culture through the lens of a prestigious university for content creators. Influencers University transforms passionate YouTubers into algorithmic perfection—but at what cost?
This animated satire explores psychological manipulation, political corruption, and spiritual redemption through a biblical allegory set in the digital age. The series contrasts two cosmic forces: The Genuine (representing authentic creativity and unconditional love) and The Algorithm (embodying the destructive power of external validation).
Spanning web animation, a book trilogy (Purple Throne, Crimson Crown, Eternal Realm), original music, and fully-realized 3D environments, IU is a transmedia universe created entirely by one person—demonstrating mastery across character design, environmental modeling, storytelling, and world-building.
