Vertical Dramas have taken the US entertainment industry by storm.  They have created a new form of entertainment you can watch on your phone.  It has become a huge influence in Hollywood, which is shown by its popularity, profits, VertiCon, and now recognition of the creative space through the Vertical Awards. 

Vertical dramas are a format of episodic television, primarily designed for viewing on smartphones, characterized by a 16:9 aspect ratio (portrait/vertical) and short, fast-paced episodes, often less than a minute long. They're essentially "TV for the TikTok generation," focusing on quick, engaging stories that are easy to consume on mobile devices. They are the soap operas for the New Generations!
