TikTok and Sundance Institute want to see more creators writing and producing microdramas and other short-form scripted series.
They’re launching a microseries writing program through Sundance Collab, Sundance Institute’s digital learning and community platform, to support “the next generation of creator-led short-form storytelling for digital audiences.”
The four-week live online course, to run later this year, will focus on scriptwriting for microseries. The course is being designed to equip creators with the tools, frameworks and “industry guidance” to develop serialized, story-driven content. There will be a limited number of participants selected for the workshop, who will reflect “the broad reach of TikTok’s creator community,” per the companies.
Applications are now open globally on the Sundance Collab website. Participants can apply on the site at this link through Wednesday, July 1.
The companies announced the new partnership Wednesday at the Vertical Media Summit, produced by Owl & Co., the media research and consulting company led by Hernan Lopez.
