The 90s Microdrama Revolution and Ghost of Quibi

Hollywood is changing—and its future might be vertical. Today,
Sammi dives into the explosive rise of “microdramas,” the
ultra-short, ultra-addictive scripted shows that are pulling in
billions and leaving traditional studios scrambling to survive.
From Chinese-backed apps like ReelShort to Hollywood execs betting
on AI-powered storytelling, this is the story of how 90-second
episodes are out-earning blockbuster films and redefining what it
means to be a creator. Sammi breaks down the psychology, the
business model, and what this all says about our shrinking
attention spans and the algorithmic future of storytelling. Follow
