NetShort Seeks Global Short Drama Partnerships

NetShort is presenting its original storytelling, AI-enabled production and global distribution model at MIPCOM Cannes as it seeks new international partnerships. The short-drama platform operates in more than 170 countries, offers content in over 17 languages and serves millions of viewers each day. North America is its largest market, alongside contributions from Europe, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Its model brings together creative teams, audience data and localised release strategies for short dramas.

Creative Feedback Loop

NetShort combines in-house screenwriting and production teams with external creative partnerships and audience data. Insights into pacing, characters and emotional payoffs guide development, while viewer responses to released stories inform future productions.

The company intends to make advanced production tools available to external creators and production partners in the coming months, supporting a wider range of original stories.

Global Distribution Plans

NetShort’s distribution network combines regional audience insights, localised distribution strategies and flexible monetisation models, including in-app purchases and advertising. The platform is seeking collaborators to develop original short dramas, adapt compelling IP and bring locally rooted stories to audiences across borders.

Stephen Liu, Chief Financial Officer at NetShort, said:

“Great stories can come from anywhere, and we believe they deserve to reach audiences everywhere. Our philosophy, 'To envision and to engage,' is about empowering creative talent to bring their best ideas to life and connecting those stories with global audiences. We look forward to working with partners who share that ambition.”

Partnership Focus

At MIPCOM Cannes, NetShort is seeking collaborations that can take stories from creative concept to international release.
