Senior AI Vertical Mini-Series Director (Freelance - Full Remote - Austria)

Your Role

We're hiring a full-time senior director to own the end-to-end production of a vertical (9:16) short drama series. This is NOT a generic "AI video creator" role. We need experienced storytellers, specialized in mini dramas, who can be taught our AI stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Own 1–2 series at a time (10–15 episodes per series, ~1 min per episode + a trailer).
• Work with our in-house AI copilot for character consistency, casting, and trailer generation.
• Direct, edit, and finish each episode yourself. You create scripts; you bring the storytelling and craft.
• We will teach you AI Content creation. If you have a strong background in film editing, you will learn fast.
• Collaborate with our team of AI Content Creators, tech team, other Short Film Directors, and our exec team

Your Qualifications

Hard Skills

• 4+ years directing or showrunning short-form narrative video.
• Strong scripting instincts: hooks, cliffhangers, minute-to-minute escalation.
• Have played around with AI generation tools such as Runway Gen-4, Sora 2, Kling 3, Veo 3, Pika, Higgsfield, and Seedance. We will teach you to become an expert quickly.
• Experience with vertical drama platforms.
