Industry experts point out that the boundaries between long-and short-form storytelling are blurring

- Lata Jha

Short-format content is no longer just for social media; it's becoming a core offering for big production houses and platforms.

The increasing popularity of short-format content and dwindling attention spans of audiences are leading studios and producers primarily known for long-format shows and films, to explore opportunities in the new space.

Film, TV and OTT production houses are looking at creating micro-dramas, comprising multiple episodes lasting 2-15 minutes for YouTube and Instagram, while audio-centric platforms like Kuku FM have forayed into video storytelling with similar programming.

Bite-sized content is a separate vertical for many content creation studios now.
