Vertical. Dramatic. Unstoppable.

What It Is

Write it, shoot it, sell it. Six hours of curated content, fifty invited creators, and zero filler.

The Agenda

Two days. Craft first. Then monetisation

The Scene

Vertical drama is the fastest-scaling content format on the planet — and until now, learning it meant flying to Asia.

The Action

Led by leading regional vertical-drama experts, Day 1 is pure craft mastery — story structure, vertical cinematography, performance for the small screen. Day 2 is the money — monetization pathways, distribution, and how to hook an audience in 90 seconds flat.

What you walk away with

A shot-ready vertical drama concept, a monetization playbook, and a first-mover seat in a format 99% of the region hasn’t touched yet.
