We're looking for a creative director with exceptional storytelling instincts, strong cinematic taste, and a deep understanding of human emotions. Your mission is simple: turn good scripts into emotionally powerful episodes that people can't stop watching. You'll work with screenwriters, AI video creators, and editors, taking creative ownership from script review to the final finished episode. You won't need to write the scripts or generate every video yourself. Your role is to guide the creative execution, identify what needs improvement, and ensure every episode meets our standards. No AI experience? No problem. We’re looking for exceptional storytellers and filmmakers, not AI experts. If you’re a talented screenwriter or director, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about AI filmmaking technologies. We believe AI is opening up incredible new opportunities for creative professionals, allowing them to bring their ideas to life faster and with fewer traditional production limitations. You’ll have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge tools, develop valuable new skills, and become part of the next generation of filmmaking. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO 1.
