'This Time I Choose Mr. Mafia' Full Cast & Character Breakdown Revealed
By David Miller
Producing an 80-episode vertical drama requires a radically different technical framework than traditional television. Industry reports indicate that This Time I Choose Mr. Mafia was filmed in an astonishing seven days on specialized stages in Atlanta.
Crews shot vertically in a 9:16 aspect ratio using high-end cinema sensors fitted with ultra-wide prime lenses. Framing two actors within a narrow vertical screen requires tight blocking. Directors avoided broad horizontal movements, opting instead for vertical layering, placing one actor in sharp close-up foreground while the other stands just behind them in soft focus.
Lighting packages were built for rapid repositioning, prioritizing high-contrast, moody lighting suitable for luxury penthouses and dark meeting rooms. Post-production moved at an equally aggressive pace: color grading, ADR, sound design, and subtitle integration were completed in under three weeks to meet platform scheduling windows.
