The cast and production team of ‘Takdir Kedua’ at the launch of Do Drama
Do Drama, Malaysia’s first mobile app dedicated to short-form vertical dramas, is transforming how content is created, shared, and experienced. Designed for today’s mobile-first audience, the platform opens up powerful new opportunities for local filmmakers, writers, and performers to tell their stories without the traditional constraints of TV and cinema.
A Creative Launchpad for Local Talent
At the core of Do Drama’s mission is a commitment to empowering Malaysian content creators. With its focus on short, vertical storytelling, the app gives writers, directors, and editors the freedom to experiment and create emotionally rich narratives – without needing big budgets or approval from network gatekeepers.
“As viewing habits change, we’re committed to leading innovation in mobile content,” said Eric Tam, Managing Director of Drama Byte Sdn Bhd. “Do Drama gives creators a space to tell powerful, compact stories that resonate without stealing the audience’s time.”
This shift toward mobile-first storytelling is in line with global trends, where fast, episodic content appeals strongly to Gen Z and millennials. With Do Drama, creators can now reach audiences directly, bypassing traditional broadcast channels and production limitations.
Opening Doors for Malaysian Actors and Performers
Do Drama also plays a key role in uncovering and nurturing homegrown acting talent. The platform’s constant demand for fresh content means more roles and projects for new actors, many of whom struggle to break into mainstream television and film.
“The more content we produce, the more opportunities we create,” said Eric. “Actors, directors, screenwriters, editors, sound designers – everyone in the creative ecosystem benefits. This is how we build a stronger industry.”
Renowned actor and Do Drama co-producer Pekin Ibrahim shares the same passion. He sees the platform as a direct channel for lifting up new talent and building careers from the ground up.
“With Do Drama, we’re creating jobs and spotlighting fresh faces. That’s what makes this platform different,” Pekin said. “Traditional TV often favors big names because of broadcaster rules. We’re changing that. If no one gives these new actors a shot, how will they grow?”
Shaping a Bold Future for Malaysian Storytelling
Do Drama is not just a streaming app. It’s a bold step toward reimagining Malaysia’s creative economy. By lowering the barriers to entry and prioritising storytelling diversity, the platform nurtures local talent, creates jobs, and advances the country’s digital media capabilities.
As Malaysia enters a new era of mobile-first entertainment, Do Drama offers more than entertainment – it offers opportunity, visibility, and creative freedom.
For creators, it’s a launchpad.
For performers, it’s a stage.
And for the Malaysian audience, it’s a fresh way to connect with stories – short, sharp, and deeply local.
