Do you remember the first vertical drama you watched? What was it?
I kept seeing clips of The Double Life Of My Billionaire Husband pop up on Facebook. Those clips made me want to see more of the short. Then all of a sudden more vertical shorts kept popping up. The vertical short I fully watched was The Alpha's Rejected Mate starring Nick Ritacco and Jarred Harper. I hate Jarred Harper's character Cole, but wanted Marcus. haha
What are you favourite genres / type of story?
I love fantasy ones (werewolves, vampire, etc), CEO,
Why do you love verticals?
I don't know. It was just something the vertical shorts that pulls me in. You got love story. You get boy meets girl. You want the guy in the movie. Also it amazes me that it take close to 2 weeks to film a short and put out in maybe 2 months while a regular movie takes months to film and sometimes don't come out until a year or so. The quality is still great.
What are you looking for in a good vertical Male Lead Character?
Sexy, smart, a guy your parents will love if you bring him home to meet them.
Favourite actors?
Kasey Esser, Jarred Harper, Nick Ritacco, Luke Charles Stafford, Eric Guillmette,
Favourite actresses?
Nicole Mattox, Mariah Moss, Kyra Wisely
What iconic vertical scenes live in your head rent free?
Love a good fireman carry! I love the "I'm trying to save you woman" scene in Return of the Drama Queen
What are your favourite verticals to date?
1. Accidential Surrogate For Alpha
2. Pregnant By My Ex's Dad
3. Mr. Vampire Wants Me Everyday
4. The Alpha's Rejected Mate
5. Alpha of Aberdeen
6. Rejected Luna's Prince
What would you love to see happen in vertical dramas in the year ahead?
More vampire and werewolves movies. More original storylines that hasn't been shown yet. I would love to see vampire and werewolf fall for each other and they are true mates. I would love to see interracial couples (an African American lead)
