The creators of TikTok drama 'Scattered' talk how the app has become a new home for short-form narrative shows by hungry filmmakers seeking an audience.

Best known as the home of kooky viral dances but a new trend is emerging on the platform – with narrative storytelling becoming more and more popular.

Web series Scattered will start filming in Melbourne in February with major production investment from Screen Australia.

SBS and Screen Australia have selected ten short-form projects for development as part of the Digital Originals initiative.
