Episode notes
This interview is part of the Short Drama Forum 2026 Q2 Online Forum. I spoke with Victor Potrel, Executive of External Strategy at TheSoul Publishing / SHRT, about how AI is shaping the future of vertical storytelling, production, distribution, and monetization.
In this conversation, we discuss:
• Why “short drama” is evolving into serialized vertical content
• How AI is changing production workflows • Why social media distribution is becoming increasingly important
• How audience data from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok can guide content decisions
• The opportunities and limitations of AI-generated short dramas
• What the future of vertical storytelling may look like
