Posters for Micro-dramas I work on are still created with intention rather than giving it to image gen models! There's too much of generic slop posters on our feeds already!

As an AI filmmaker, I refuse to tell stories that have no soul — like Holly bending down in her short skirt to pick up her fallen phone. Asking you for pennies to see what happens next! I want to make films that make you feel something, make you come back on your own, not just pay to find out what happens next.

1. More and more companies jump into the microdrama market. 2. AI slop dramas keep flooding the feeds, with companies competing on quantity. 3. Eventually, people start getting bored of the same-looking, same-sounding stories. (Early reports from the Chinese market are already giving us some signals.) 4. Companies start losing their identities because all their content looks like everyone else’s. Everyone competed on quantity, and nobody invested enough in making their stories stand out. 5. Eventually, the market gets flooded with so much content that most of it loses its value. There’s just too much of the same thing. 6. Now, the only way to compete is to deliver quality. 7. Companies start looking for high-quality AI filmmakers who can actually make their content stand out. 8. But there’s already a shortage of that kind of talent. Most people offering cheap AI filmmaking services are either chasing the gold rush or have little understanding of art, storytelling and cinema. Companies keep hiring them in bulk because they need output at scale, and nobody’s really prioritising quality. 9. The genuinely great AI filmmakers — the ones nerdy and artistic enough to pull off great films — become rare and expensive. 10. We enter the age of quality. If your content doesn’t have quality, people won’t care about it, remember it, or spend a penny to watch it. 11. The microdrama industry matures. High-quality talent gets hired at good salaries to lead teams, establish creative standards and produce better dramas. 12. The companies that survive start building their identities around distinctive storytelling and high-standard dramas instead of just pumping out content. 13. The format stays. The economics change. Quality becomes the rare and valuable skill. IMO, this is where the microdrama industry is headed. And the companies that start investing in storytelling and cinematic quality before everyone else realises its importance will have a massive advantage.
