Vertical Drama & Mobile-First Series

The rapid growth of vertical episodic storytelling is redefining how audiences consume drama.

Platforms such as ReelShort, Dramabox and ShortMax have created a new global market for short-form, mobile-first drama series designed for vertical viewing.

The Future Frames works with production companies, platforms and commissioners to develop, package and deliver high-quality micro drama content at scale.

International Talent Pipeline

Through our emerging talent initiatives, we also identify new directors, writers and editors capable of working within the vertical drama format.
