Join AFDA's innovative Micro-Drama Storytelling Short Course and become a part of the digital storytelling revolution, equipping yourself with the skills to create compelling narratives for today's mobile-first audiences.
As storytelling rapidly evolves for a mobile-first generation, AFDA – The No.1 School for the Creative Economy – continues to lead innovation in creative education with the launch of the AFDA Micro-Drama Storytelling Short Course, a future-focused programme designed for the next generation of digital storytellers.
The global entertainment landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. Content once created for cinema and television is now primarily consumed on smartphones, with short-form video dominating digital behaviour worldwide.
Today, platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts collectively generate billions of daily views, reflecting the massive scale of vertical storytelling consumption globally.
At the same time, audiences are increasingly engaging with mobile-first content formats, with over 87% of global internet users watching short-form video weekly. Vertical video formats continue to outperform traditional horizontal content in both engagement and completion rates, reinforcing the rapid shift toward fast, immersive storytelling experiences.
