Today’s episode features a conversation from our 2025 Q4 Short Drama Forum with Bethany Thomson — the Creative Lead at Sea Star Productions, one of the UK’s leading vertical drama studios.
In this interview, Bethany shares how she scouts and works with writers, how Sea Star collaborates with major platforms, and what makes vertical storytelling different from traditional TV and film. She also talks about the growing UK & European market, the tropes that still work, what new genres have breakout potential, and how she evaluates scripts, hooks, and characters for mobile-first audiences.
