i don’t know how many people on tumblr know about “verticals” - they’re cheaply made soap operas that are filmed vertically so you can watch them on your phone. they’re infamous in the acting world because of the poor writing and nonsensical plots - almost always has something to do with a mafia boss or a vampire or a werewolf - and they always have insane titles like “pregnant with the ceo’s baby” or “forced to marry the alpha king.” i come across tons of them on casting websites and they all have wild titles and descriptions but none of them, None of Them, have truly grabbed me like the title i saw today:
Dr. Fangs: He Prescribes Bites
answering some questions i’ve seen:
1. yes, real people work on these
2. some of the scripts might be ai generated but a lot of them are poorly translated in to english from other languages (china and russia are really big in to verticals) or just written in like an afternoon by someone with no will to live
3. shockingly you get paid really well for these, like way more than nonunion standard, which is why a lot of actors flock to them
4. they’re typically hosted on tiktok or apps specifically designed for hosting verticals
5. as far as i am aware, dr. fangs does not prescribe mouse bites
