Question 1

What is a micro drama?

Accepted Answer

A scripted series made for phones, vertical 9:16, told in episodes of 60 to 120 seconds. A season runs 60 to 100 of them and every episode ends on a hook. People also call it vertical drama, short drama, mini drama, mini series, web drama or mobile drama. In China, where it started, it is duanju. Apps like ReelShort and DramaBox took it global.

Question 2

What is Saga?

Accepted Answer

An AI production studio for that format. You write one brief. Saga writes the script, casts the characters, builds the locations, boards every shot, and renders a publish-ready vertical cut. Writers, cast, director, crew and animators in one tool instead of four. Saga is in development. The waitlist is open, and joining reserves an early-access spot at launch.

Question 3

Can AI keep the same characters across a whole series?

Accepted Answer

That is the point of Saga. You cast faces, voices and locations once into a story bible. Saga holds them from shot one to shot four hundred. Same cast in a 60-second short or an 80-episode season, with no re-prompting scene by scene.

Question 4

How long can an episode be?

Accepted Answer

There is no runtime cap. Saga renders a 30-second hook or a full-length episode. Everything is 9:16 vertical-native, not cropped down from landscape.

Question 5

Where can I publish what Saga makes?

Accepted Answer

Exports are ready for the vertical drama apps: ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax and GoodShort. Also TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Seven destinations, no re-cutting between them.
