Test your next IP as vertical drama for $50K-$150K in 30 days. Real audience data replaces focus groups. 100% IP ownership retained. Co-production, adaptation, and first-look deals.
The vertical drama market is worth over $8 billion and growing. One app made $700 million selling werewolf romance to suburban Americans. The Latino audience, 68 million strong and raised on telenovelas, has zero dedicated vertical drama platforms. That gap is the opportunity.
Traditional IP validation costs $5 million or more for a single pilot, takes 18 months to greenlight, and relies on focus groups and gut instinct. Cuentalo offers a different path. Test new IP as a 5-episode vertical drama series for $50K to $150K with a 30-day production-to-audience cycle. Real-time engagement data from real viewers replaces the guesswork. You retain 100% of your IP.
Four partnership models are available. Co-production: you bring the IP, Cuentalo brings the platform, audience, and format expertise. IP adaptation: turn existing scripts, books, or concepts into vertical episodes to gauge demand before committing to full production. First-look deals: get exclusive early access to breakout series on the platform for feature film, TV, or streaming adaptation. White-label production: Cuentalo handles end-to-end vertical drama production using its creator network and format playbook.
The economics work at scale. A series with one million total episode views can generate $150K to $300K in creator revenue through the subscription model. That revenue stream validates audience demand with hard numbers, not projections. Financiers, distributors, and streaming buyers respond to real subscriber data.
Cuentalo is built by AstraBrava with over 20 years of experience in Latino media, digital monetization, and content strategy. The platform is purpose-built for the US Latino audience on mobile. For producers looking to de-risk their next project, this is IP validation at a fraction of the cost with data that speaks for itself.
