Story first
Every project starts with a story and the audience it is for. We develop original concepts and adapt published fiction for the short episodic form.
Stroxen Studios · Entertainment division
Drama for the vertical screen.
Stroxen Studios is the entertainment division of Stroxen. We develop vertical drama: scripted series told in short episodes, with characters worth following and endings that earn the next tap.
Now: story development, adaptation and partnerships with rights holders and production teams.
A different craft
Not TV, cut down.
Vertical drama is a different craft. Episodes run short, the hook has to land early, and every ending has to earn the next episode. We develop with that in mind from the first page.
Vertical mini drama
We write for the phone: tight episodes, framing that works in portrait, and a story that carries the viewer from one episode into the next.
Audience and release
Language, distribution route and monetization, planned before production.
