About this episode

Rhavynn Drummer discusses the misconceptions about verticals in acting and the importance of this training ground.

Tyler Perry Studios casting veteran Rhavynn Drummer returns to Get Scene Unscripted to tell Jesse Malinowski why actors dismissing verticals as "bad acting" are missing the biggest paid training ground in years, after producing 7 micro dramas in just 7 months. She also breaks down why casting directors have no union or residuals, the Sing Sing equal-pay ownership model, and why AI "can be sad, but it can't be complex."
