Let's Get Vertical
Where your story fits the screen.™
Vertical Festival is not your typical film fest. We’re flipping the frame, literally.
Built for the next wave of storytellers, Vertical Festival celebrates short-form, vertical content made for phones, fueled by creators, and powered by community. Whether you're a TikTok director, a DramaBox star, or an indie filmmaker experimenting with vertical storytelling, this is your stage.
📱 Born in the Feed. Thriving on the Big (Vertical) Screen.
We’re bringing together the best in vertical film, micro-dramas, creator series, digital thrillers, romance sagas, and social shorts — all in 9:16.
Think:
- 🚀 World premieres of viral hits
- 👩🎤 Creator panels & workshops
- 💋 Red carpet events and parties
- 🏆 Awards that actually matter
🌟 Who We Are
We’re filmmakers, creators, and digital dreamers who believe the future of storytelling is handheld.
Vertical Festival is here to elevate the new wave of creators and give vertical content the cinematic respect it deserves.
🎥 Want In?
We don’t just stream, we scream for bold, addictive, and bingeable content.
If your vertical series has drama, romance, danger, mystery, betrayal, or just really hot vibes, this is your platform. Submit. Attend. Collaborate. Party.
This isn’t Hollywood.
It’s New Hollywood. Vertical-First. Creator-Driven. All-In.
