Custom-Built Original 9:16 Series for ReelShort, DramaBox, FlexTV, and Mobile Streaming Platforms — From $50K (AI) to $100k - $500K+ (Live Action) per Season

Video Content Shop is a US-registered production company producing exclusive vertical drama originals for platforms, investors, and brands. We don't license finished series. Every show we build is produced exclusively for a single commissioning platform — custom scripts, custom cast, custom world. Specific licensing terms are defined per agreement..

Who We Are

Video Content Shop (VCS) is a US-registered production company. Our directing and producing team — led by Frank Rod and Yara Mirek — is currently based in Madrid, with international shoot experience across Europe, Turkey, and Latin America.

Our work has been distributed on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Flixxo, and KweliTV, with additional collaborations involving Netflix original productions and global brand campaigns (CLEAR with Erling Haaland, FINISH Super Bowl 2024, Chris Brown, AliExpress).

When you commission a series with VCS, you get the full creative pipeline — script to master — led by the same team, with accountability from first call to final delivery.

Platforms We Produce For

We build custom originals optimized for the technical and editorial specs of:

  • 📱 ReelShort — 60–80 episode seasons, cliffhanger-driven pacing

  • 📱 DramaBox — Micro-drama format with strong hooks

  • 📱 FlexTV — Mobile-native vertical storytelling

  • 📱 TikTok Series — Feed-breaking pacing, native algorithm alignment

  • 📱 Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts — Branded vertical narrative

  • 📱 Custom platform apps — For streaming services building their own vertical vertical vertical

Each platform has its own retention patterns, episode length conventions, and audience expectations. We produce to spec.

How We Work

Every series we produce is custom-built and exclusive to the commissioning platform or investor. Nobody else gets the same show. Specific rights structures (territory, distribution windows, international licensing, remakes, merchandise) are defined per project in your production agreement.

We don't operate a licensing library. We don't sell pre-made catalog. If you're looking to license finished content, we're not the right partner. If you're ready to commission your own originals, keep reading.

The Full Production Pipeline

Pre-Production — Script development, character design, casting, location scouting, production design, storyboards.

Production — Cinematic vertical shooting with Sony cinema line cameras (Netflix-approved), gimbal and stabilization, professional DOP, sound, and crew. Native 9:16 — not cropped from horizontal.

Post-Production — Advanced editing, color grading, sound design, 2D/3D animation, VFX (After Effects and proprietary tools), AI-enhanced VFX pipelines, commercially licensed music and sound effects.

AI Pipeline — For AI and hybrid productions: proprietary workflows for generative video, character consistency across episodes, hybrid integration of live action and generated assets.

Track Record

  • 80+ commercials across global brands

  • Credits in 3 Netflix original productions

  • Multiple mini-series currently streaming on Prime Video, Shortly, Flixxo, Apple TV, and partner platforms

  • Brand collaborations with CLEAR, FINISH, Chris Brown, AliExpress, and others

Bundle Production (5–10 Original Series)

For platforms building a full original slate, we produce bundles of 5–10 custom series in parallel. This lowers per-series cost by 30–40% through shared infrastructure — not by repeating content.

Important: every series in a bundle is a distinct original. Different stories, different casts, different genres. The efficiency comes from optimized scheduling, shared crews, and batch post-production — not from templates. You're commissioning a slate of originals, not buying a catalog.
