What is Small Vices?

Small Vices is an independent web series/TV show. Each episode has a similar runtime to a traditional TV show (24 minutes) with full episodes available on Patreon. It will also be available to watch for free on social media channels in 3 minute chunks in its entirety.

A web series? A TV show? You decide.

Why is Small Vices made for smart phones?

In the last twenty years, cinema has made a huge leap from the theater to our pocket screens. In traditional movies and television, the aspect ratio is completely different, and the original creation has to be cropped or made smaller to fit the display.

Small Vices is an attempt at creating something that is beautiful to look at and experience on your phone (and can be made even better with good headphones). The visual compositions of the show are designed to look good at a small scale, and to engage the format of the smart phone screen in new and exciting ways.

Is Small Vices short-form video?

The show’s original format is 24 minute long episodes. This length of time is not able to be standardized across social media platforms, but 3 minute videos are. Each episode breaks down into 8 chapters of roughly 3 minutes, to allow the show to be viewed by the widest audience possible.

By publishing the show to these platforms, and introducing a continuing narrative into this space, we are combating the un-connectedness of the “doom scroll”.

When is the release date for Small Vices?
