Eric Roberts Stars in New Vertical Drama “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To”

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Eric Roberts Stars in New Vertical Drama “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To”.

TVS News AI editorial team presents Eric Roberts in the new vertical drama “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To”.

Eric Roberts is joining a series designed not for the traditional television screen: the format is intended to be told through vertical video clips. For you as a viewer, that means each episode focuses more strongly on smartphones and short, cumulative installments.

The project “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To” comes from Hollywood producers Alon Shtruzman and Scott Einbinder. They founded the newly established company New Short Media for the project. According to Deadline, it is the first vertical drama publicly revealed by the new studio.

The dramatic premise sounds unusual: “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To” centers on a party, with Roberts taking the lead. The source does not yet name who will actually shape the story in the upcoming episodes or who will appear alongside him in its announcement.

Why the Format Is Designed for Smartphones

The crucial difference lies not only in the casting, but in the format. Vertical dramas are told in portrait-oriented clips, meaning the series is not simply edited as a conventional production and then placed in a vertical frame. The current report does not reveal how specifically the team will work on this.

Deadline reports that the project is being positioned at New Short Media as a “nascent Hollywood outfit”—that is, a young studio with ambitions in the Hollywood market. The fact that its first publicly announced series will star an Oscar-nominated actor sends an early signal.

A Film That Is Also Set to Become a Series

The production plan is particularly intriguing: “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To” is set to appear both as an episodic vertical series and as a feature film. The team is evidently aiming for two different forms of presentation.

The sources give neither a release date nor a platform on which the series will be available. The current announcement also provides no information on the production budget, film format, or a possible feature-film release.

What We Know From the First Announcement

One thing is certain: Eric Roberts is starring in “It’s My Party And I’ll Die If I Want To”, and the series and film are being produced by New Short Media under Alon Shtruzman and Scott Einbinder. The two writers Gev Miron and Charlie Parker developed the project.

There is not much more that can be said with certainty at present. If you are interested in vertical dramas, you can start by waiting for the first released episode and seeing whether the short format actually tells the party concept in an understandable and compelling way.

More Value for You

The announcement shows where small production companies are heading in the mobile format: away from the idea of an isolated smartphone app and toward series that are also conceived as films. If you want to compare similar projects and formats, you can find additional vertical drama guides, an overview of streaming series, and background information on short-form series.

Best of luck with your projects—and stay curious when the first episodes arrive.
