AI Filmmaker
Job description
- Create story-driven short films (up to 10 minutes each) in English, entirely with AI tools, for overseas social platforms such as X and TikTok.
- Handle the full workflow independently: story concept, script, AI visual generation, storyboarding, video generation and post-production editing.
- Keep characters and scenes consistent across shots and episodes.
- Review AI-generated images and video clips for visual quality, character consistency and storytelling effect, and regenerate or fix them where needed.
- Write and keep the process materials: script drafts and revisions, concept designs, master images and blocking diagrams, director-level storyboards, execution prompts and generation logs.
- Document review and targeted revision rounds, and give structured written feedback on tools and outputs.
- Follow project guidelines, take part in calibration and review sessions, and incorporate feedback to keep quality consistent.
Required Qualifications
- A portfolio of completed, purely AI-generated short films with clear storylines, made for overseas audiences (drama, fantasy, sci-fi, comedy or twist-driven stories preferred).
- Strong storytelling for social platforms: a hook in the opening seconds, fast pacing and memorable moments.
- Proven ability to run a project end to end, from idea to final cut, as an independent creator, director or small team.
- Original files and project files kept and traceable, and willingness to share works and production-process data once the scope of authorisation is confirmed.
- Able to deliver multiple videos on an ongoing basis.
- Fluent written English.
- Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently and meet deadlines in a remote setting.
Preferred Qualifications
- Published AI story content on X, TikTok, Instagram or YouTube Shorts.
- Experience using several AI image, video and audio tools within one workflow.
- Experience directing or supervising a production team.
