The Rise of Vertical Hollywood: The Director's Perspective
Listen now
Description
Vertical dramas are on the rise. If you've seen platforms like Reelshort, ShortMax, Dramabox, and PocketFM dominating the entertainment charts on the Apple and Android App Stores, or caught a glimpse of their spicy, drama-packed clips on Instagram or TikTok, you're witnessing a shift in storytelling. For the past year, I’ve been immersed in directing vertical dramas, and after completing my 7th (and prepping for my 8th) feature-length mini-series, directing has officially become my full-time gig. In this episode, I sit down with Charlotte Huang as she prepares to direct her first vertical series. We dive into my journey—the successes, the stumbles, and the valuable lessons I've gathered along the way. Whether you're a seasoned filmmaker or a curious newcomer, I hope you can learn from my experience. Follow me on Instagram @MattMacedo and visit my website for more about these vertical series and my latest books! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matt-macedo/support
