AI Drama Generator: Make a Vertical Micro Drama Series

An AI drama generator turns a premise into a micro drama series: a cast that keeps its faces, lines spoken on screen, and short vertical episodes that each end on a hook.

Most AI drama generators make one clip from one prompt, so the lead changes face between episodes and nothing pulls the viewer to the next one. We read the canvases of two drama shorts made in Flick: The Perfect Proposal, a 6:51 romance with a robbery in it by Zhelun “Jerry” Lin from the Summer 2026 Flick Residency, and A Proper Introduction, a 5:45 family drama by Jaime Yao of the Flick team. This page shows the beats every episode needs, with the exact prompts behind them, then six steps to make a micro drama series with Flick's AI drama generator.

Make your drama series in FlickSee the six steps

What does an AI drama generator do?

It takes a premise and builds the parts of a drama series around it, the pitch, the cast, the spoken lines and each episode's shots, then keeps the cast the same from one episode to the next.
  • It drafts the pitch, the characters and an episode list with you in Flick chat.
  • It turns each lead into a character sheet that later shots cite by name.
  • It speaks the lines you write in quotes, with video models that make sound with the picture.
  • It shoots in 9:16 for phones when you set the project to vertical.

Counted on the two films' public Flick canvases:

  • 217 video clips generated for A Proper Introduction, a 5:45 family drama
  • 173 of those 217 prompts say “No background music”, leaving the voices and the room
  • 319 video clips generated for The Perfect Proposal, upscales and edits left out
  • 41 of those 319 prompts stage the proposal, the one line the whole story turns on

What does every micro drama episode need?

A micro drama, a series of short episodes made to watch on a phone, needs four beats in each episode: what a character wants, what stands in the way, a turn, and a last line that leaves a question.
  • A Proper Introduction states its want in one line: a girl tells her drawing of a knight that she will introduce him another day, “when Dad isn't so busy.”
  • The Perfect Proposal ends a scene on a ghostly Abigail saying “we will see”, and its prompt asks for exactly that: “留下悬念”, leave the audience in suspense.
  • Jerry Lin wrote his direction in Chinese and the dialogue in English, the language it is spoken in, so the model voices the lines as written.

The want: one line that names the problem

Handheld camera style. The little girl looks at the drawing in her hands and lets out a small sigh.
She says to the drawing, “Sorry, Sir Loras. I’ll introduce you next time, when Dad isn’t so busy.”
Then she places the drawing into the drawer.
Finally, she closes the drawer. No background music.

The little girl walks a little farther into the room.
The man hears her and slowly looks up at her.
In a soft, gentle, reassuring voice, he says, “Lydia, would you like to tell me his story?”
The little girl replies with a small, surprised, delighted disbelief, “All of it?”
The man smiles and answers, “Yes, all of it.”
Do not rack focus.
Do not cut to another shot.

How do you make a micro drama series with AI?

In six steps: pitch the series in one line, cast each lead with a sheet, set the project to 9:16, write the lines in quotes, end each episode on a question, then cut the best takes.

  1. Step 1

    Pitch the series in one line.

    Name the lead, what they want and who stands in the way, then ask Flick chat for an episode list where every episode ends on an open question.

    • A Proper Introduction fits in one line: a girl wants her busy father to meet the knight she drew.

  2. Step 2

    Cast each lead with a sheet.

    Generate a sheet of each lead's face and full body on a plain background, then cite it in every shot, so the cast looks the same in every episode.

    • M.E. Owens wrote this sheet for Vivi in One More Day from a text description, then named it in her shot prompts.

  3. Step 3

    Set the project to 9:16.

    Choose the vertical aspect ratio before the first shot, and frame faces in close-up, since a phone screen leaves little room for wide shots.

    • Both films here were made widescreen; the same steps work at 9:16.

  4. Step 4

    Write the lines in quotes.

    Put each spoken line in quotes with who says it and how, so a video model with sound speaks the exact words in the right voice.

    • Jaime Yao wrote this exchange into 14 prompts: “Would you like to tell me his whole story?” “All of it?”

  5. Step 5

    End on a question.

    Stop each episode the moment a new danger or choice appears, before it resolves, so the viewer opens the next episode to find out.

    • In The Perfect Proposal, a robber's boot slams onto the table and cuts off Abigail's answer at “Y”, before she can say yes.

  6. Step 6

    Generate takes, then cut.

    Generate several takes of each shot, keep the one where the performance lands, and cut the episode short, ending on its last line.

    • Jaime Yao generated five takes of a girl coming home and calling “Daddy, I'm home!”

Why make a micro drama in Flick instead of a one-click drama app?

A one-click app turns a prompt into one clip, while Flick keeps the pitch, the cast sheets, the lines and every episode's takes on one canvas, so episode six still looks like episode one.

  • A cast that stays the same

    Character sheets you cite by name keep each lead's face and clothes steady across a whole series.

  • Lines spoken on screen

    Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2.0 and Kling O3 Pro generate sound with the picture, so a line written in quotes is spoken in the shot.

  • Vertical when you need it

    Set a project to 9:16 and generate tall images and clips for phones, or 16:9 for a widescreen cut.

  • Every take beside the episode

    Takes, sheets and stills sit next to the shots they belong to, so you can compare takes and keep the best one.

What do people ask about AI drama generators?

What is an AI drama generator?

An AI drama generator is a tool that turns a premise into the parts of a drama: characters, dialogue and generated scenes. In Flick, it plans a series with you in chat, then generates each episode's shots on one canvas, with the cast kept consistent.

What is a micro drama?

A micro drama is a series of very short episodes made to watch on a phone, usually shot vertically, where each episode ends on a cliffhanger. Romance, revenge and family secrets are common stories, because each turns on one line or one reveal.

Can AI make a vertical drama series?

Yes. Set the Flick project to 9:16 before you generate, and images and clips come out tall for phones. Frame faces in close-up, since a narrow screen leaves little room for wide shots.

How do I keep the same characters in every episode?

Make a character sheet of each lead, a headshot plus full body front and back on a plain background, and cite it in every shot they appear in. Keep the whole series in one project, so later episodes reuse the same sheets.

Can AI characters speak dialogue?

Yes. Write the line in quotes with who says it and how, and generate with a video model that makes sound, such as Seedance 2.5 or Kling O3 Pro in Flick. Add “no background music” to keep a score out of the shot.

Is Flick's AI drama generator free?

Yes, you can start free: you get 100 credits when you sign up, 200 more for joining the Flick Discord, and 100 credits every week. The free plan has AI chat, image models and MiniMax H3 Max video; Seedance and Kling need the Standard plan ($20 a month).

How is a micro drama different from an AI drama short film?

A micro drama is a series of short vertical episodes built around cliffhangers, while a drama short film tells one complete story in one sitting. Flick's guide on how to make an AI drama short film covers the single film, step by step.

Who owns the drama series I make in Flick?

You do. Content you generate on Flick is yours for personal and commercial projects. See the terms of use for detail.
