We build vertical stories at speed: market intelligence, series engines and production-ready scripts for the platforms that matter.
The next generation of franchises won’t be discovered in theaters. They’ll be discovered on a phone, one swipe away.
We know vertical fiction from the inside: what makes a viewer stay past the first three seconds, what makes them pay at episode ten, and what makes a platform commission season two. That knowledge shapes every project before a single page is written.
From first concept to the doorstep of production.
We evaluate concepts and slates, identify the strongest opportunities and recommend market positioning, before you spend a dollar on production.
We turn an idea into a commercially and narratively viable vertical series: concept refinement, characters, series engine and season architecture.
Episodes written at scale in English or Spanish by professional writers, powered by our proprietary AI-assisted workflow. Hooks and cliffhangers engineered for retention.
We adapt your series for new markets in English, Spanish and Portuguese: dialogue, cultural references, names and humor rewritten by native writers, not machine-translated.
Production intelligence, partner sourcing, shot lists and project bibles, plus access to our network when your project moves toward live-action, AI or hybrid production.
Strategy for broadcasters, producers, brands and platforms entering vertical: market and buyer mapping, format and monetization models, slate fit and go-to-market, grounded in our market radar.
Clients don’t come to us just for scripts. They come to make better development decisions, move faster and build stronger series.
Three fast-growing lanes of vertical fiction where native development makes the difference.
Latin America and Brazil are the fastest-moving vertical markets, with new platforms launching every month. We develop natively in English, Spanish and Portuguese, written for each audience from page one.
Brands are commissioning their own vertical series. We build stories with a real engine and a brand that belongs in the plot, so audiences binge it instead of skipping it.
Half of microdrama viewers in markets like the UK are men. Our thriller, crime and dark-genre slate is built to bring that audience in.
