GenJam NY: MicroDrama with Morphic

  • McMahon Residential Hall 155 West 60th Street New York, NY, 10023 United States (map)

​In this GenJam, teams will concept, produce, and premiere a 45–90 second microdrama—a compact, character-driven story with a clear arc and a punchy ending. You’ll learn to move from beat sheet to screen fast, using AI tools to draft visuals, voices, and sound, then cut it all into a tight narrative.

​We’re partnering with Morphic to streamline the visual workflow and get you from idea → boards → shots in record time.

​The 4-hour flow

​Hour 1 — Tools training (5:00–6:00 PM)

Hands-on demos and mini-exercises:

  • ​Morphic: visual ideation on a canvas, shot iteration, frames-to-video flow

  • ​ElevenLabs: character voice, narrator VO, temp dialogue

  • ​Quick edit & timing fundamentals (cuts that serve story, transitions that don’t distract)

​Hours 2–3 — Production labs (6:00–8:00 PM)

Teams of ~5 create a 45–90s microdrama (vertical or horizontal). Machine Cinema team will be around to help.

​Hour 4 — Premiere & live vote (8:00–9:00 PM)

Screen every piece, run a crowd vote, and give rapid feedback on what landed: hook, clarity, pacing, emotional payoff, and finish.

​What you’ll make (deliverables)

  • ​A 45–90s microdrama with opening hook and clean ending

  • ​One-sentence logline + short caption (social-ready)

  • ​End card with credits and AI tool disclosures

​Tools you can use
