Listen "Vertical Shorts"
Episode Synopsis
Microdramas—Hollywood’s fast-rising wave of vertical, ultra-short videos—are rewriting the rules of Hollywood. Low quality and often produced on a shoestring budget, they nevertheless dominate attention in a way that polished platforms like Quibi never could, quickly becoming a billion-dollar industry. Verticals’ success taps into deep psychological impulses: our craving for immediacy, novelty, and dramatic storytelling. And, at their center is a fresh generation of creatives who see microdramas as a fast route to visibility and a quick buck.
