We are casting for several new vertical dramas for Shorties Studios all shooting before the end of December. These vertical dramas are being produced for one of the largest global platforms.

Unexpected Xmas Love Story
Ruthless, late-40s food critic Claudia Hayes writes a career-making hit piece that destroys Locke’s, London's chicest restaurant, along with the dream of its arrogant, early-30s Michelin-starred chef, Leo Carter. In retaliation, Leo slaps her with a devastating defamation lawsuit. Unbeknownst to them, their respective bosses engineered the restaurant's downfall to ruin both of them. Forced to work together at Locke's until Christmas to salvage the restaurant and their careers, Claudia and Leo’s bitter war ignites into an explosive, uncontrollable attraction.
