🎙️ In this episode, we spoke with Buzz Leer, host of the Vertical Buzz podcast, about the rise of vertical storytelling in Hollywood and the future of short drama in the US.

We discussed why more traditional actors and directors are entering vertical dramas, how platforms are becoming more professional, and why he compares short drama today to the early days of Amazon and online shopping.

Buzz also shared thoughts on soap opera acting, AI motion comics, ad-driven storytelling, and why “9:16 is the commute.”

If you want to understand how Hollywood is reacting to the short drama boom — this is an episode worth listening to.
