Terribly Tiny Tales expands into microdramas with new digital vertical

Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), part of the Collective Artists Network, has announced the launch of a new vertical, Terribly Tiny TV, aimed at developing scripted short-format fiction content, also known as microdramas. The initiative is part of the company’s effort to adapt to the changing patterns of digital content consumption, particularly on mobile and short-form platforms.

The microdrama format refers to scripted narratives that unfold within durations of 2, 5, or 10 minutes. These are designed to align with the habits of fast-scrolling audiences and short attention spans. Episodes released under Terribly Tiny TV are produced by TTT’s internal team in collaboration with a network of writers and creators.

“What short films were to festivals, microdramas are to digital culture,” said Anuj Gosalia, Founder & CEO of Terribly Tiny Tales. “With Terribly Tiny TV, we’re creating an IP engine where creators can build deeply human stories designed for digital velocity. This is the next era of storytelling — efficient, emotional, and unforgettable.”

The episodes are released weekly across Instagram and YouTube Shorts. According to the company, the aim is to create fiction-led content that is both mobile-native and suitable for high-frequency consumption, while maintaining scripted storytelling structure.

“Terribly Tiny Tales has always stood at the intersection of storytelling and new formats,” said Vijay Subramaniam, Founder & Group CEO of Collective Artists Network. “Microdramas are the natural evolution of that legacy, high impact through high-volume, high-feeling IPs that can live natively on social media while building long-tail value across platforms.”

The organisation states that Terribly Tiny TV will serve as a distribution and licensing platform for fiction-led intellectual property built specifically for digital formats.

The announcement comes as the short-form content space in India continues to expand, driven by social media platforms and evolving audience behaviour.
