COL Group has joined forces with Lingopie to launch DramaRizz, which uses vertical short-form drama for language learning.

Modern-day adaptations of Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, and Jane Eyre, produced with vertical short-form and horizontal feature versions, are part of the inaugural slate at new L.A.-based studio LoveHit, which has also launched its own microdrama app.

COL Group, VIRTUE Asia and V47 Entertainment have joined forces to stage what is being billed as the first-ever upfront event for microdramas and the vertical video economy, taking place in Singapore on October 27.

A slate of titles from ReelShort is launching on Indonesian streaming platform Vidio.

Primitives has reached a deal with Belgium's Play Media to represent an initial slate of 20 original microdrama series worldwide.
