About the role
We’re looking for a Creative Executive focused on animation to help develop, shape, and oversee a growing slate of original kids and family series.
Skills and tools
story development
What you'll do
- Our animation slate is focused on kids and family audiences ranging approximately from ages 3, 15, spanning preschool, younger kids, and older kids programming.
- The right person should be comfortable independently owning a slate of projects while communicating closely with the broader creative and production teams.
- This is not a traditional development environment where projects spend years moving through layers of approvals. We develop quickly, produce quickly, learn from what audiences respond to, and constantly move new ideas...
- Develop original animated series from initial concept through outline, show bible, episode development, and an initial 10-episode series
- Originate and pitch new concepts that align with TrueShort’s creative mission, audience, and programming strategy
- Evaluate incoming pitches, scripts, concepts, and intellectual property and provide a clear creative recommendation on whether TrueShort should develop, acquire, or pass on the project
- Identify undervalued, overlooked, or underutilized intellectual property that could be adapted into compelling animated series
- Identify writers, creators, artists, filmmakers, designers, and other creative talent who could contribute to individual projects or the broader creative team
Nice to have
- Experience in animation development, creative development, current programming, producing, writing, or a similar creative role
- Exceptional story instincts and the ability to quickly identify what is and is not working within a concept, script, or cut
- Experience developing projects from initial concept through series bible, scripts, and production
- Experience evaluating pitches, scripts, books, intellectual property, or other creative material
- Strong understanding of character development, story structure, comedy, pacing, tone, worldbuilding, and episodic storytelling
- Experience giving clear, thoughtful, and actionable notes to writers, filmmakers, and other creative collaborators
