Could you briefly introduce yourself and your role in short drama industry?

Yes.

Hi, I'm Lala Costa, and I'm about to say, "Lala Costa, I am 5'6" in Los Angeles," because that's what they make us slate as actors for auditions.

But [laughs] I am Lala Costa, and I am an actor turned writer, and I'm also an attorney that, uh, decided to become [laughs] an actor.

So, um, how I got into the drama industry is about, uh, December 2023, I started to see the breakdowns for, um, these, it would say vertical or it would say, like, short form, but it wasn't that clear, and I started to book my first one.

But, uh, it's on IMDb somewhere, and that was a lot of fun, and I loved how, you know, they explained it to me.

"Oh, it's a new format," you know.

... is there any similarity or differences between those vertical dramas and the shows you watched when you were younger, right, when you were a kid, right?
