Director / Writer – AI-Generated Serialized Vertical Content

Role Overview

We are hiring a Director/Writer to create and direct serialized micro-drama and entertainment content built entirely using AI-generated assets.

There is no live-action filming.
All characters, environments, shots, and scenes are generated using AI tools in collaboration with an AI Content Creator / Prompt Engineer and a Video Editor.

This role owns the story engine, emotional architecture, and creative direction of each series. You will design bingeable short-form episodes optimized for vertical platforms (Reels/TikTok-style), where hooks, pacing, and cliffhangers drive completion and continued viewing.

This is algorithm-native storytelling built for AI-native production.

Core Ownership

You are accountable for:

• Series concept development and long-term narrative arcs
• Scriptwriting and episodic structure
• Character development and continuity logic
• Scene-by-scene breakdowns for AI asset generation
• Emotional pacing and cliffhanger engineering
• Final creative approval before publishing

You direct through narrative precision and visual intent, not through physical production.

Key Responsibilities

Narrative & Series Architecture

• Develop serialized micro-drama concepts designed for binge behavior

• Structure episodes for:

• Hook within first 1–3 seconds

• Escalating tension within 45–90 seconds

• Strong episode-ending cliffhangers

  • Build multi-episode arcs with clear emotional progression
  • Design repeatable narrative frameworks that scale across seasons

AI-First Scene Direction

 - Translate scripts into clear, continuity-safe scene breakdowns

• Define and maintain:

• Character visual consistency

• Wardrobe persistence

• Environment continuity

• Emotional tone per scene

  • Provide creative direction to the AI Content Creator / Prompt Engineer for image and video generation
  • Review and refine AI-generated outputs to ensure alignment with story intent
  • Collaborate with the Video Editor to optimize pacing and retention

AI-Integrated Creative Workflow (Strategic, Not Operational)• Work closely with the AI Content Creator to translate narrative intent into AI-generated visuals

• Provide structured creative briefs for character design, environments, and scene composition

• Use LLMs for:

• Research

• Story development

• Dialogue refinement

• Structural experimentation

  • Propose workflow improvements that increase creative velocity without reducing story quality
  • Collaborate on AI-driven localization and adaptation strategies

This role requires AI literacy and comfort working in AI-native pipelines, but not deep prompt engineering expertise.

Must-Have Experience

 - 3+ years experience writing and directing narrative content (digital, series, short-form  preferred)

• Strong episodic scriptwriting background

• Deep understanding of:

• Hook psychology

• Retention dynamics

• Cliffhanger construction

• Mobile-first pacing

  • Experience collaborating within AI-assisted creative workflows
  • Strong visual literacy and ability to design continuity-safe story worlds
  • Ability to deliver consistently under tight production timelines

Preferred Qualifications

 - Experience creating serialized micro-drama content

• Experience building vertical content for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts
• Experience collaborating with AI prompt engineers or generative media teams
• Familiarity with AI voice, dubbing, or multilingual localization
• Experience in startup or fast-iteration creative environments
• Strong storytelling instincts and structural discipline
• Data-aware creative decision-making
• Clear communicator in remote team environments

Success Metrics

 - Episode completion rate

• Binge-through rate across episodes and series
• First 3-second retention improvement
• Output consistency (episodes per week / series per month)
• Reduction in production turnaround time through AI collaboration
• Development of scalable, repeatable high-performing formats

Who Thrives Here

 - Story-first thinkers who love structural precision

• Directors who value pacing over spectacle
• Writers obsessed with emotional escalation
• Creators excited about AI-native entertainment
• Fast, responsive collaborators in remote workflows
• Builders who iterate without ego
