The format

A microdrama is a scripted series shot for the phone. Episodes run 60 to 90 seconds, each one ends on a reason to watch the next, and the story carries across a season.

People scroll past ads and come back for characters. A series gives your audience someone to follow, and one production gives you weeks of episodes and shorter cuts to run as ads.

Brands in China, India and the United States already commission their own series. In Germany the format is still early.

How it works

We create the characters and the series. You license them for a set term, the way you would contract an actor.

Writing and directing
We write and direct every series ourselves.
The characters
We create them for your series, and they stay ours. Your licence covers an agreed term.
What you receive
Finished episodes for your channels, and shorter cuts for paid ads.

Two ways to start

Enough to introduce the characters, put the series in front of your audience and read the numbers before you commit to a season.

Series

20 to 24 episodes

A full season, released over several weeks, with a story that gives people a reason to come back.
