From an idea to a show
One sentence becomes a show: what you are making, what it is about, then Kiju writes its title, the season’s plan, the cast, the places and episode one, shot by shot — for cents.

“That's my handwriting. I didn't write that.” “Black coffee. Three sugars. Please.”
A show starts with one sentence. In this video, you'll turn yours into a title and a plan for the season, a cast and its places, and the first episode, written shot by shot. Writing it costs cents.
Kiju opens on Welcome. The shows we made in it play here in full, with how each was made. To start yours, choose Make my first episode.
Two questions. First: what are you making? A vertical drama is a short episode for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and the drama apps: a hook first, a cliffhanger last. A series is for YouTube, with a cast that comes back; a short film is one film, told in scenes. We'll make a vertical drama.
Then: what's it about? A sentence is enough. Here's ours: at three a.m., an airport barista gets the same order from a pilot whose flight left ten years ago.
Below, the style: we'll keep Photoreal, and you can add a line about the look, like its light. Then the language of the lines, how long an episode runs, seventy-five seconds unless you change it, and how many episodes make the season. The look can change later, on the show's page.
The button shows the most this can cost: up to forty-three cents here, paid to your own OpenRouter account. Kiju adds nothing to the AI bill. The first time, this button asks you to sign in with OpenRouter. A new account needs a little credit, and Kiju tells you how much. We've done that already. Choose Write it. Kiju writes in front of you: a title, the season's plan, the cast, the places, and episode one, shot by shot.
Writing it cost five cents: what the show has spent is always up here. Kiju called it Gate Zero, and wrote it a logline. Both are yours to change: click, and type. Below is the plan: what happens in each episode, a hook to open it, and a cliffhanger to end it.
The cast: Mara Quinn, the night barista; Captain Elias Vane, the missing pilot; and Dana Roe, the airport's security chief. Their portraits and their voices come on the board. And the places, drawn once each, come back in every episode: the Terminal Café, and Gate Zero itself.
Episode one is written: fourteen shots, fifty-seven seconds. Choose Continue episode one. This is the script: what we see, the camera, who is in it, and every line. Change anything; nothing costs money until you draw. Or choose Rewrite with a note, and say what to change.
When it reads right, choose Accept the plan and go to the board. That's where the next video starts.
Pause here, and make yours: one sentence, a plan you accept, and episode one, written shot by shot. Next: the board.
