A Rio de Janeiro media platform inviting creators, collectives, and production companies to submit short vertical-screen drama projects.

Why it surfaced

Riowood is unusually specific about its format: two- to five-minute episodes designed for mobile viewing, with genres ranging from romance and comedy to police stories, sport, and social impact. Its public criteria score narrative quality, originality, emotional impact, and the strength of the opening hook—although funding, ownership terms, and deadlines remain subject to an official regulation.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
