We are looking for a visionary Film Director & Showrunner to lead the creation of high-end, short-drama series. This role is designed for a cinematic powerhouse who understands deep storytelling, blocking, and dramatic structure, but is also ready to embrace Generative AI as their primary production engine.

You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you must be digitally native and tech-curious. We need a storyteller who can translate a traditional director’s "eye" into the world of AI-assisted filmmaking, turning scripts into seamless, prestige-quality visuals.

The Role

As the lead creative, you will act as a "one-person studio." You’ll take projects from concept to final master, using AI tools to build worlds, maintain character consistency, and direct virtual "performances." You will serve as the bridge between classic film theory and the future of automated production.

Key Responsibilities

• Showrunning & Vision: Lead the narrative strategy and maintain a cohesive "look and feel" across a complete short-drama series.
• Directorial Leadership: Apply your mastery of lighting, composition, and performance to AI outputs, ensuring they mirror the quality of high-end television.
• Creative Asset Management: Use AI-assisted tools to build storyboards, shot lists, and backplates that align with your directorial vision.
• Technical Execution: Take personal responsibility for the final "director’s cut." While you will have support, you should be comfortable getting hands-on with generation, assembly, and refinement.
• VFX & Polish: Oversee and perform the cleanup of AI artifacts to ensure visual consistency and a seamless cinematic experience.
• Ethical Oversight: Ensure all content meets brand guidelines and respects intellectual property standards.

Role Requirements

• Professional Directing Background: Proven experience as a Film Director or Showrunner with a portfolio that demonstrates a deep grasp of "the language of film."
• Cinematic Mastery: An expert understanding of film theory, pacing, and how to evoke human emotion through a lens.
• Tech-Savvy Mindset: A functional understanding of generative AI tools (such as Midjourney, Runway, or Luma) and a massive appetite to learn more. You are agile with new interfaces and evolving workflows.
• NLE Proficiency: Expert-level editing skills in industry-standard software like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid.
• Post-Production Knowledge: High-level proficiency in After Effects or similar tools for masking, compositing, and "fixing it in post."
• Adaptability: The ability to find creative workarounds for the current limitations of generative AI technology.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with AI audio and music tools (e.g., ElevenLabs, Udio, Suno).
• A "hacker" mentality—someone who loves testing new tools the day they drop.

Language Requirements

• Professional English proficiency for reading scripts.
• Experience working with remote creative teams in English.

Application Portfolio Requirements

A portfolio demonstrating relevant work is strictly required for evaluation. Please include:

1. Strong personal creative projects utilizing AI tools.
2. A 1–5 minute AI video or experimental film.
3. An active Instagram profile or portfolio link featuring updated video work.
4. A clear breakdown of your exact responsibilities and production workflow for the submitted video content.
