Gen Jam: Make Your Own Micro Drama Film w/ Dreamina AI
What if your first episode could launch the next vertical sensation?

Co-presented with DREAMINA AI, the groundbreaking new generative image & video tool from Bytedance, we're diving into the booming world of micro-dramas-short-form, vertical series built for the For You page. We're bringing them to the robots -with an absurd, experimental, creator-first twist.

Your mission? Build the pilot of your own micro-drama using generative tools. Think: AI-fueled scandal. Robot detectives in love. 3-minute procedurals. Your series, your tone-anything from unhinged soap operas to high-stakes psychological thrillers (with talking furniture, if that's your thing). All made in a night.

Concept & Chaos

Start with a genre or totally irrational idea. Develop a vertical-format micro-series concept. Use Dreamina AI to create your world & storyboard. We'll use LLMs & Gen Audio tools to ideate & create sound design.

Produce the First Episode

Use DREAMINA AI image & video to create your world, generate scenes & bring your pilot episode to life. It can be stylized, animated, voice-over driven, lo-fi, or highly chaotic-just make it memorable.

Premiere & Celebrate

We'll screen your episodes in vertical format & vote on awards like:

Best Overall Film

Most WTF

Most Likely to be a Show
