Join the CommunityThe Vertical Film School thesis
The frame is a tall rectangle held in one hand. Faces, hooks and pacing work differently when the screen is the size of a palm.
Short episodes, a cliffhanger every time, and an audience that decides in three seconds whether to keep going.
New studios, new platforms and AI-assisted production mean one capable creator can now carry work that once needed a department.
The craft and business of vertical drama production. Screenwriting, casting, directing in 9:16, platform economics, branded content and career paths.

Join creators building the next generation of vertical entertainment.
Vertical Film School teaches vertical storytelling to writers, directors, editors and AI creators who want to make entertainment for the phone.
It sits beside two industry properties, the Micro Drama Summit and Vertical Drama Jobs, so what you learn connects to the people who commission, cast and hire.
Training is only useful if it ends in work. That is the standard we build to.
