NEW YORK, NY, United States, 28th Oct 2026 – Short drama platform Meantio invites everyone to step into the spotlight at “Trick or Act: Meantio Halloween Short Drama,” a Halloween pop-up event in Times Square on October 30th. The event gives audiences the chance to move from viewers to performers and join prominent social media influencers and professional actors on stage to create unforgettable short drama moments together in one of New York City’s most iconic public spaces.
A Chance to Shine Alongside Influencers
The event’s program features prominent U.S. social media influencers and professional performers portraying characters from three signature themes: Vampires and Werewolves, Royal Castles, and Elite Family Revenge. Its improvised short drama format combines suspense, romance, and fantasy.
Audience participation is at the heart of this experience, with open invitations for spectators to join the performers onstage for impromptu scenes and perform alongside their favorite creators. Whether they have always dreamed of acting or simply want to try something new, participants have their moment to shine. Random surprise gifts are distributed throughout the event, adding an extra layer of Halloween excitement. The pop-up celebration takes place on October 30, and for those who cannot make it in person, the entire event is broadcast via livestream, so audiences can still be part of the fun from anywhere.
Making Short Drama Creation Accessible to Everyone

“Producing a short drama should be as straightforward as recording a short video,” says the Meantio team. “If you can make a short video, you can make a short drama!”
The platform integrates AI tools throughout the creative process to make this vision a reality. Users can begin with a single-sentence story concept, such as “a forbidden romance between a vampire and a werewolf” or “the hidden secrets of a wealthy family in an ancient castle.” Meantio then generates a complete script, matches the story with suitable settings, and provides shot lists and filming guidance. These tools are designed to help users without acting experience or production expertise create short dramas from home, making the dream of directing their own short drama accessible to everyone.
Whether through AI-assisted creation, purely human-led storytelling, or a combination of both, Meantio empowers every creator to find their own path. For viewers, the platform offers a rich library of content spanning multiple genres and production styles—from professional human-created dramas to innovative AI-generated stories—ensuring that every audience member discovers content that resonates with their taste.
