For actresses, you scream, cry, throw up on command, and then you run off to go get waterboarded.

You're going to cry like you've never cried before, but your spirit, your spirit will remain solid.

That's the typical day.

Yikes.

Are you getting paid for 70 episodes?

One of the interesting things about micro dramas is that the contracts also vary wildly depending on what company you're working with.

So as a writer, you could be looking at $2,000 to just hand in a script.

As an author who has a book idea that they want to kind of take and use, $1,000.

$5,000, it really, really depends on who you're working with and how much they want it.

For an actor, you're probably looking at $500 a day, which is super, super, super affordable and really great rate for people who are non-union.

And from a Hollywood perspective, you can say yes to projects because you're not committing the world.

And if anything, you're committing $100,000 here, another $100,000 there.

costs and money that would frankly disappear or round up to small percentages for giant projects.

I've talked to a bunch of vertical actors who are kind of caught in the middle of this.

They see the way that the industry is changing and they love the idea of Hollywood executives being more willing to say yes to stories.

What they're concerned about is that verticals and particularly the way that they are made will leave these actors behind in the process.

I actually don't.

I think microdramas are incredibly interesting.

But I think the problem Hollywood sees right now is, frankly, a cowardice.

Hollywood is drowning right now under this exhaustion with IP because for the past five years, executives have been afraid to make creative content.
