Directing Vertical Drama: A Practical Guide to making Microdramas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249060794)

Seven days. Eighty episodes. Two cameras. No second chances.

Vertical drama is the fastest-growing format in global entertainment, a multi-billion-dollar industry that most filmmakers know almost nothing about. The schedules are brutal, the budgets are tight, and the rulebook hasn't been written yet.

Until now.

This is the first practical guide to directing scripted drama for the vertical screen. Written by a working director who made the leap from traditional filmmaking into the world of microdramas.

Part field manual, part war diary, this is the book I wished existed before stepping on set for the first time - honest, practical, and built from hard-won experience on real productions.

Whether you're a seasoned director looking at vertical for the first time or an emerging filmmaker searching for a way in, Directing the vertical Drama, will get you on set prepared, keep you there in one piece, and make you want to come back for more.
