Adam Faze is building what might be the first true TV studio for TikTok. His company, Gymnasium, develops short-form shows that reach millions of viewers — sometimes for less than the cost of a dinner out. In this episode, we talk about how he’s rethinking the studio model for the vertical video era, what it takes to turn a 90-second TikTok into an ongoing series, and why he believes TikTok is replacing the traditional TV pilot.
We also get into how these shows make money, what Hollywood can learn from short-form creators, and how the next generation of entertainment will be developed on our phones.
