Cinematic AI Creator (Contractor)

About the role

We are looking for a Cinematic AI Creator (Contractor) : a filmmaker who works in generative models rather than with a crew.

What they're looking for

• A body of work: film, series or episodic work, commercials, music videos, short films, branded or short-form content; whatever best shows your craft, alongside AI-native work.
• Deep understanding of visual storytelling: story structure, plot, pacing, shot design, blocking, performance and the edit.
• Command of cinematography fundamentals (cameras, lenses, lighting, colour, grading, composition and camera movement), and the vocabulary to direct them precisely in a prompt.
• Hands-on experience with generative video models and how they behave in practice, and with the image models that feed them.
• Prompting skill for video: motion description, camera control, identity and style preservation, and first/last-frame and reference-driven workflows.
• End-to-end post capability in editing, grading and sound, and the ability to run a full production cycle alone.
• Awareness of internet culture and what makes cinematic content travel.
• The judgement to hold a quality bar, including on your own work.

Nice to have

• Background in VFX, animation, motion design, concept art or 3D (Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, Nuke, Unreal).
• Experience directing hybrid productions that combine live footage with generative work.
• ComfyUI or node-based video pipelines, and LoRA or character-consistency training.
• Interest in shaping AI creative tools rather than only using them.
• A public presence as an AI filmmaker or creator.
• #LI-MS1
