AI Short Drama Generator
Write a short drama from one line.
Short drama is the fastest-growing format in vertical video, and the hardest to fake. It needs a cast the audience recognises, a hook that lands in three seconds, and an ending that forces the next episode. That is what this writes.
A hook in the first three seconds
Vertical audiences decide in under three seconds. Every episode opens on conflict, a reveal, or a line that demands an answer — never on an establishing shot.
The same cast in every shot
Each character gets a fixed written description — hair, clothing, one distinctive accessory — and a reference portrait you approve before anything renders. Those exact words drive every frame, so the face that opens the episode is the face that closes it.
Sets that stay put
Locations are locked the same way your cast is. A room that changes colour between episodes breaks continuity as badly as a changing face, so each set carries a fixed description and its own reference image.

Guarded Hearts
An heiress discovers her new bodyguard is the boy she loved and lost ten years ago—and he's hiding a reason for coming back.
“An heiress discovers her new bodyguard is her childhood love.”
The cast, locked
Elena Voss
24 years old, long dark auburn hair in loose waves, wearing an ivory silk slip dress, a thin gold necklace with a single pearl pendant
Daniel Reyes
26 years old, close-cropped black hair, faint scar through left eyebrow, black tactical jacket over a fitted grey shirt, a silver dog-tag chain tucked under his collar
Marcus Voss
58 years old, silver-grey hair swept back, tailored charcoal three-piece suit, a heavy signet ring on his right hand
The storyboard
Opens on: A gloved hand catches a falling wine glass a half-second before it shatters — then the stranger looks up, and Elena's world stops.
- 01
A wine glass slips from Elena's hand mid-argument and a gloved hand catches it inches from the marble floor.
- 02
Marcus introduces Daniel formally, oblivious to the tension crackling between him and Elena.
- 03
Alone in her bedroom, Elena stares at an old photograph hidden in her vanity drawer, hands trembling.
- 04
On the terrace, Daniel stands guard in shadow while Elena confronts him about his identity.
- 05
A gust of wind pulls back Daniel's collar, revealing the dog-tag chain — the same one Elena gave him a decade ago.
- 06
Later that night, Daniel checks Elena's bedroom before leaving; she stops him at the door and says his real name.
Ends on: As Daniel turns to leave her bedroom doorway, Elena whispers his name — and he freezes, because no one has called him that in ten years. Who told her?
Writing this cost nothing. Credits are only spent when a shot is animated.
Questions
- How long is a short drama episode?
- Thirty to sixty seconds works best on vertical feeds. Shorter episodes hold retention and cost less to render, which is why the default here is six scenes of five seconds.
- Do I need a script first?
- No. One sentence is enough. The script, the cast, the sets and the shot list are written for you, and all of that is free — you only spend credits when you render video.
