"The name Quibi means 'quick bite', everything is 5 to 8 minutes, whether its a movie in chapters, as they call it, or the episodic"  - Nick Allen talking about the shoft-form content on Quibi.

Last week, the latest in a growing number of streaming platforms went live. The new service, known as Quibi, is taking a different approach to the streaming service model we’ve come to expect. Film and TV writer Nick Allen wrote about what makes Quibi different for Vulture here.

Essentially, Quibi is different in that it’s mobile-only, meaning users can only watch on their phones. Also, all of the platform’s content is eight to ten minutes-long. Some A-list talent was enlisted to create programming for Quibi, but the question remains, will people be open to paying for quick bites of content only available on their mobile device?
