By microdra.ma · AdArena

A live call for everyone making a PilotRush pilot
On Thursday, October 29 at 11:00 am New York time (3:00 pm London, 4:00 pm Rome), microdra.ma and AdArena are hosting a live call for the AdArena community and every creator working on a PilotRush entry.
What we'll cover
- How a microdrama actually works: one-minute episodes built to make you watch the next one
- The first 3 seconds, one character with one clear want, and ending on a cliffhanger
- Framing for 9:16 and making it work with the sound off
- Keeping AI characters consistent from shot to shot
- What we're looking for in a pilot, and how to show it can become a series
- Your questions, live
Who it's for
AI filmmakers, writers and editors entering PilotRush, and anyone curious about vertical drama.
