Crazy Maple Studio

Crazy Maple Studio was spotlighted this weekend in the Los Angeles Times for our innovation and creativity, with mentions of our hit shows like Breaking the Ice and Baby Trapped by the Billionaire, showcasing the immense potential and power of short-form content. Our CEO, Joey Jia, highlights how our biggest advantage is our ability to adapt based on audience feedback. Always considering and learning from the market, Crazy Maple Studio has pivoted from mobile gaming to interactive stories and now to mini-dramas, learning from every experience. We've grown from an app with single-digit retention rates to the leader in micro-drama content. Today, ReelShort leads the U.S. micro-drama market, surpassing over 40 global competitors in mobile downloads and revenue, as reported by Sensor Tower. We're learning, innovating, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the entertainment space. Read more here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCF_ZZ_s

ReelShort is making headlines—this time on NPR! In this feature, our CEO Joey Jia shares how he’s redefining entertainment—bringing more variety, accessibility, and even creating a new market for storytelling with #ReelShort. With millions tuning in daily and a booming billion-dollar industry, short-form storytelling isn’t just a trend—it’s the future. 📱 As Joey said, “We want to entertain people when they have time, even if they have just one minute.” “Microdramas are popular because they're easy to watch. The episodes are short, the plot twists addictive.” – Sherisse Pham, NPR correspondent But don’t take our word for it—hear it straight from NPR. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gvQtPbky #ReelShort #MicroDramas

🌟 Los Angeles isn’t just one of our production hubs—it’s home. During these challenging times, we stand with the brave first responders and firefighters who have worked tirelessly to protect our communities. This week, our LA team came together to give back.

Our CEO reminded us of the power of unity and resilience, and we’re proud to see our talent, production crew, and staff joining forces to make a difference. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and effort.
