Production company Deep Fusion Films, which produces the Virtually Parkinson podcast, has announced the launch of a new technology division.
At launch, Deep Fusion Technologies (DFT) is introducing Verbl — an AI-supported transcription, translation and dubbing service designed to make localisation faster, more cost-effective and more accessible, said the company.
Verbl combines ethically driven and fully licensed machine efficiency with human oversight to “ensure accuracy, cultural sensitivity and editorial integrity”.

The company has appointed Emmanuel Obi-Akwari as UI/UX developer – AI and media innovation lead, who will report to Deep Fusion Film’s head of creative AI, Christian Darkin.
Benjamin Field, co-founder and director at Deep Fusion Films, said: “Welcoming Obi to the team at such a pivotal moment makes him ideally placed to help shape the next generation of creative tools. His talent and energy are already shaping the way we think about the future of storytelling tools and celebrates the creative outcomes of cross-fertilising knowledge and skills. With the launch of Verbl, we’re proving that AI can drive opportunity, not redundancy.
“This isn’t about replacing people — it’s about building better workflows, supporting the creative economy and creating skilled jobs in the process.”
