Olumide Gbenro, founder of Ogun Studios, shares his AI microdrama playbook:

Remix proven winners: find viral stories and rebuild them around fresh perspectives (e.g., a Black woman with a classic '80s look), keeping the emotional hook line "You look fat in that." Understand why the opening works instead of copying.
Diversity as edge: microdramas still have room for stories centered on underrepresented backgrounds and life experiences.
Production systems: Claude/GPT skills turn scripts into production assets within hours; the studio can produce a full 50-episode microdrama in 48 hours, with pre-production and editing the biggest bottlenecks.
The studio hires young editors in developing countries, some now earning more than their parents.
