One Room. Midnight. Quiet Drama.
ShinyaDrama™ is a template studio for minimalist, two-actor drama — designed for filmmakers, actors, and film schools who want to tell more with less.
No crowd. No explosions. No noise.
Just one room, late at night, and a story that unfolds in silence, distance, and light.
Built in Japan and made for the world, ShinyaDrama provides quiet drama structures — scene blueprints, dialogue packs, and one-room story formats — so you can create intimate films with low budgets and high emotional density.
Quiet cinema as a deliberate choice.
ShinyaDrama is built on a simple idea: small stories deserve serious craft. You don't need ten locations and twenty speaking roles to move an audience. One room and two actors, handled with precision, is more than enough.
We design drama structures where silence does half the work: beats with no dialogue, tension in the distance between chairs, the way a lamp paints the edge of a table at 1:30 AM.
Our templates focus on:
- one interior space (room, studio, apartment)
- one or two primary actors
- minimal props, maximal emotional focus
- slow, clear arcs that actors can inhabit fully
Less noise. More presence. Stories that breathe instead of shout.
“We don't write noise. We design space for performance.”
Quiet drama is not an absence of event — it is the art of holding a moment.
A door that doesn't close. A question that isn't answered. A character who stays for one more cup of tea at 2 AM.
ShinyaDrama templates are built for those moments — so you can spend your time directing, not wrestling with empty pages.
Built for filmmakers, actors and schools.
ShinyaDrama is for creators who prefer depth over noise: those who care about blocking, breath, and the weight of a pause.
Independent Filmmakers
You want intimate films that are realistic to produce: one apartment, two actors, strong emotional arcs. Our templates give you solid, filmable structures so you can invest your energy in casting, framing and performance.
Actors & Studios
Scene work that is not “demo reel generic”. ShinyaDrama scripts offer nuanced, grounded situations for 2-person scenes, ideal for classes, tapes, and self-produced work.
Film & Drama Schools
Use quiet drama as a training ground for directing and acting. Templates can be assigned, remixed, and shot within a semester, with clear structural logic your students can learn from.
- 10–30 minute short films shot in a single location
- actor showreel scenes that feel like real cinema, not sketches
- exercises for cinematography labs focused on light and shadow
- AI-assisted previsualization and script drafting
What you get with ShinyaDrama.
We don't sell “inspiration quotes”. We sell filmable material: scripts, structures, and blueprints that survive the realities of small crews, limited time, and tight locations.
- 3 × 10–15 min two-actor scripts (apartment / café / studio)
- 2 × 20–30 min story structures with full beat outlines
- One-Room Blocking Guide for camera and actors
- Silence & Pause Map – where not to talk and why
- Sample shot list and timing suggestions
Distributed as PDF + plain text for easy adaptation into your own script format, language, or software of choice.
We are preparing a monthly template subscription for creators who want a steady stream of quiet scenes to shoot, rehearse, and explore.
- New two-actor scenes each month (10–15 min)
- Occasional 30min “midnight episode” concepts
- Monologue variants for self-tapes and reels
- Optional add-ons: atmosphere loops and BGM for temp use
If you run a studio, school, or long-term program and are interested in institutional access, you can already reach out at the bottom of this page.
Midnight Monologue Pack
A curated set of introspective monologues built around late-night moments: after a call, before leaving, not quite ready to sleep. Designed to be performed in close-up.
Distance & Blocking Blueprints
Simple spatial diagrams showing how to stage tension using distance, body angles, and the geometry of small rooms — especially for single-camera setups.
Atmosphere & Quiet Loops
Optional ambient sound and minimal music loops tailored for quiet drama: refrigerator hum, distant traffic, rain on glass, late-night trains passing somewhere off-screen.
Collaborations, schools, and early access.
ShinyaDrama is currently in a focused development phase with a small circle of filmmakers and educators. If you are:
- a director or producer planning one-room or two-actor projects,
- a film / drama school interested in quiet drama as a teaching tool, or
- a studio exploring minimalist series formats,
you can contact us for early access, collaboration, or curriculum use.
Include a short note about who you are, where you work (school, city, production), and how you imagine using quiet drama templates.
