Screenburn Group is a London software company working adjacent to vertical drama rather than producing it. It runs two products: Screenburn, a screenwriting tool with a retention-scoring engine the company describes as patent pending, offering nine output formats with microdrama first; and CherryBowl, a cataloguing and rankings service for vertical series. On 20 August 2026 C21Media reported that Damian Collins, formerly the UK's Minister for Tech and the Digital Economy, had become chairman, and that Odiri Iwuji, a co-founder of C21 Media, had joined the board of advisors. C21Media reports the company is preparing to open a funding round this autumn; no amount, valuation, lead or participant has been disclosed and no round has been announced as raised.
