GammaTime Partners with Spikes Studio for Vertical Shorts
GammaTime, a streaming platform for short dramas, has teamed up with Spikes Studio.
Spikes Studio uses special AI technology to turn regular TV shows and movies into short vertical videos for mobile phones.
This means you can watch your favorite shows in a new, quick format without changing the original story.
GammaTime, started by a former big boss at Miramax, wants to make more money by offering these short videos.
They think this is a great way to share content without spending more money on new productions.
Both companies believe this is a new way to watch shows, not a replacement for regular TV.
GammaTime, led by former Miramax boss Bill Block, partners with Spikes Studio to create a library of premium vertical shorts.
Spikes Studio's AI engine transforms existing content into vertical micro-dramas without altering the original narrative.
The partnership aims to generate scalable revenue without additional production costs or disrupting existing distribution.
GammaTime offers true crime, drama, and thriller content and launched in October.
Both companies view vertical shorts as a new distribution method, not a replacement for traditional formats.
