# 144

> 144 is a vertical drama adaptation agency in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It adapts
> existing premium film and TV intellectual property into vertical (9:16) microdrama
> formats, and integrates vertical production into shoots that are already running.
> The claim is "Think Vertical". The name is the brand's own arithmetic: 16 x 9 = 9 x 16 = 144.

## What 144 does

144 works with IP a producer already owns. The vertical layer grows out of the existing
script and the existing shoot rather than replacing either — in the site's own words:
"One shoot. Three formats." and "One unit. One bible. New audience." The company
positions itself as the interface between traditional film and series production and
the vertical era.

Clients are film and series producers, studios and broadcasters, primarily in the
German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). 144 is an adaptation and
production service that works on client IP.

## Services

144 offers three service tiers.

- **Full Adaptation** — Full conversion of the existing script to the logic of a vertical
  drama mechanism. 144-proven narrative and technical optimization. Delivers a vertical
  micro drama.
- **Sidequests** — Development of unique subplots and sidestories based on the main script,
  tailored for vertical performance. Vertical sidequests expand the dramatic universe and
  maximize identification. Delivers additional storylines.
- **Vertical Marketing** — Ideas that spark. Content that works. Ready for audience.
  Covers vertical teasers, viral hooks, story shoutouts, BTS reels, short interviews and
  scene adaption / reframing. Delivers 9:16 assets.
