The Prodigy of Vertical Dramas

“Around 2024, Aaron Oberst’s career took a thrilling turn as he became a prominent face in the emerging world of vertical drama, short-form serials shot in a vertical (smartphone-friendly) aspect ratio. These vertical drama shorts are often fast-paced, high-emotion stories released as episodes on mobile apps. Oberst’s entry into this space marked the beginning of a meteoric rise: his acting “career boomed when he joined the vertical short drama industry in the year 2024”. He swiftly became one of the most recognized and versatile actors in this arena, so much so that a ReelShort profile dubbed him “the actor everyone loves.” Fans of vertical content around the globe have come to associate Oberst’s name with compelling performances and memorable characters. Importantly, he has contributed not only as an actor but also occasionally as a writer in this space (writing certain monologues or changing small dialogues), bringing his behind-the-scenes expertise to select projects.”
