Atlanta's Fanbase App Strikes Gold with Hollywood Heavyweights for Bite-Sized Drama Series

In a move that’s set to shake up the local entertainment scene, Atlanta-based social media powerhouse Fanbase is teaming up with powerhouse producer Ty Walker and executive producer Keisha Perry Walker to roll out a fresh slate of microdramas starting next year.

The collaboration, announced today, spotlights the city’s growing clout in digital storytelling, bringing high-stakes, emotion-packed shorts straight to fans’ phones.

Fanbase, the innovative platform founded by Atlanta native Isaac Hayes III — son of the legendary soul icon Isaac Hayes — is no stranger to empowering creators.

Now, it’s diving headfirst into the booming world of microdramas: ultra-short, scripted series crafted for on-the-go viewing, think gripping tales that hook you in under 10 minutes.

Launching exclusively on the app in Q1 2026, these series will champion diverse voices and multicultural narratives, creating a pipeline for indie filmmakers and production outfits to shine.

At the helm is Ty Walker, the veteran producer behind hits like Imperium and Kevin Hart’s Die Hart franchise, leading the charge through his Braveheart Entertainment banner. Joining him is Keisha Perry Walker of Wild Peach Studios, a key executive producer whose expertise in nurturing bold, inclusive content aligns perfectly with Fanbase’s mission.

Together with Hayes, they’re not just producing — they’re building an ecosystem that could put more Atlantans back to work amid Hollywood’s ongoing challenges, from strikes to streaming shifts.

“This partnership with Fanbase lets us introduce a new kind of storytelling that delivers maximum emotion in minimal time,” Walker said in a statement. “We’re excited to push creative boundaries and spotlight compelling voices in this evolving space.”

Hayes echoed the enthusiasm, highlighting how Fanbase’s built-in tools for short-form video, creator subscriptions, and app development make it the ideal launchpad. “The microdrama genre is scaling fast, and Fanbase is the perfect home,” he added. “

Development is already underway inside the app, and we are excited to partner with Ty and Keisha at Braveheart and Wild Peach.”

As microdramas explode globally — captivating audiences from Seoul to São Paulo — this Atlanta-rooted venture positions the Peach State as a frontrunner in the U.S. market.

It’s a win for local talent, too, offering fresh gigs for actors, writers, directors, and crew in a format that’s as accessible as it is addictive.

Final Word

The vast majority of dramas filmed in Atlanta, won’t be done on an app. Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the latter part of the year and the foreseeable future.

Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label.. If you want to be an actor, the city has classes you can take as well as places that provide headshots and more. You can also audition at numerous casting calls to build your movie and TV reel.
