Скачать или смотреть From Voice to Vertical: How Angela Liu Accidentally GateCrashed a New Film Frontier

In this episode, we sit down with the brilliant Angela Liu — a trilingual filmmaker, voice-over artist, and award-winning producer/director whose journey into vertical storytelling is anything but ordinary.

Angela shares how her path began in voice-over and sound, how she came to the U.S. for grad school, and how one chaotic production day — where the director was suddenly fired — thrust her into directing her very first vertical drama. That unexpected moment didn’t just change her trajectory… it launched her into an entirely new storytelling frontier.

Today, Angela works with leading vertical platforms like Dreameshort, Sereal+, and Flareflow, helping to define the rapidly evolving landscape of micro-dramas. In this conversation, she opens up about:

Her evolution from VO talent to filmmaker- and why sound is still at the heart of everything she creates.
How she unexpectedly became a vertical director overnight.
Why verticals are exploding globally and what makes the format so creatively powerful.
The growing importance of intimacy coordinators and ethical set culture.
Tips for actors auditioning in the vertical space (and common mistakes she sees).
How writers, directors, producers, and actors can break into vertical filmmaking.
How her deep love for storytelling (especially stories for those who cannot speak for themselves) guides every project she touches.

Angela’s passion, insight, and generosity make this a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of storytelling and the new creative opportunities unfolding right now in the vertical world.
