I'm CT Jones.

I am a staff writer at Rolling Stone, where I cover entertainment, culture, and the internet.

Thank you.

Microdramas are these short, episodic films, and they're filmed portrait mode.

And they're meant to be watched and shared primarily on your cell phone.

So as you're scrolling, clicking on apps, that's where microdramas appear.

Yeah, the whole point of them is that they're short, right?

So they're in between films and TV seasons, but there are 60 to 90 episodes, and these episodes can range anywhere from...

Four minutes to ten to seven.

It depends entirely on the project that you're watching.

So that's why they call them micro.

But it also refers to kind of the speed and the production.

So we're talking about projects that have very, very, very tiny budgets and they have a very, very, very tiny shoot time.

So altogether, microdrama.

What is the appeal?

Yeah, I think one of the really interesting things we've seen about the Internet in the past couple of years is that the way people scroll are changing the ways your attention span works.

So we've already seen in cases like Mad Men.

Great, Bob.

And Ugly Betty.

Hi, that's me.
