Viddsee has partnered with CJ ENM, among other companies, to expand its offering into long-form scripted projects and microdramas.

With the move, the digital video platform, known for its short-form content, plans to extend its reach beyond Southeast Asia and onto the global stage. Leading the evolution is the detective series Ivy Boys, in co-development with CJ ENM Hong Kong and adapted from the Web3 concepts of BBRC Studios.

Michael Jung, managing director of CJ ENM Hong Kong, commented, “We’re excited to collaborate on Ivy Boys and bring together our legacy of creating impactful storytelling with a fresh and innovative narrative approach.”

Another key project, Fallen Butterflies (w.t.), is inspired by the book published by Penguin, A Long Road to Justice by Sylvia Yu Friedman. The eight-episode drama series explores the world of the sex trafficking trade through a Korean and American lens.

Also in the lineup is Siti Vampire, an Indonesian feature film adapted from a successful local five-episode comedy series with the same name in Singapore. Story and script development is currently underway with Katatinut.

Beyond these projects, Viddsee is producing its first slate of microdrama originals, with productions underway in Thailand, Singapore and Taipei.

“As we embark on this new chapter, we’re thrilled to bring our first slate of long-form projects and micro dramas to life,” said Ho Jia Jian, founder and CEO of Viddsee. “Our goal is to create compelling stories that resonate across cultures and continents, leveraging our unique strengths in content creation and storytelling.

“Our expansion into both long-form and micro drama content not only highlights our commitment to innovation but also invites potential investors to explore opportunities within the rapidly growing digital video and streaming space.”
