Our second micro drama
Project in pre-production
Our second micro drama is in pre-production. Title and story details will be announced in due course.
Black Swan Verticals develops, produces and owns a growing slate of original vertical series. We take the craft of film and television, the writing, casting, cinematography and locations, and apply it to the fastest-growing format in entertainment. The result is micro drama with the polish audiences expect from premium TV, built for the screen they already watch most.
Why we make originals
Micro drama is a global, multi-billion-dollar market, but much of it is made fast and cheap. We believe there’s a bigger audience waiting: viewers who love drama but haven’t yet found a reason to watch it on their phone. Our originals are made to bring them in. Every series we make also sets the standard for the work we produce for partners.
