Role Description
We are seeking a visionary and highly organized Director to lead the artistic execution of our book-to-screen adaptations. This role is at the cutting edge of modern production, requiring a blend of traditional storytelling mastery and the ability to utilize AI-generation workflows.
As the Director, you are the primary architect of the visual frame. You will be responsible for translating the established creative vision into a concrete set final shots that capture the essence of the source material.
Key Responsibilities Artistic Leadership & Vision
Creative Collaboration: Work closely with the Chief Production Officer (CPO), Chief Content Officer, Chief Experience Officer, and Producer to define the overarching artistic direction, mood, and visual style for each book adaptation.
Shot Generation: Assume ultimate responsibility for the quality, composition, and narrative impact of every shot produced.
Visual Planning & AI Integration
Workflow Management: Own the generation schedule, ensuring that shot production stays on track, meets deadlines, and aligns with the editorial timeline.
Technical Execution
Editing Proficiency: Utilize fundamental editing skills to review sequences, understand pacing, and ensure that generated shots transition seamlessly within the episodic structure.
Quality Control: Oversee the iterative process of AI generation, refining prompts and artistic outputs until the vision is fully realized.
Qualifications & Skills
Visual Storytelling: A deep understanding of cinematography, framing, lighting, and composition.
AI Tool Fluency: Experience (or high adaptability) with AI image and video generation platforms and how to use them within a professional creative pipeline.
Leadership: Proven ability to manage a creative team and maintain a unified artistic voice across a large-scale project.
Organizational Mastery: Strong scheduling and project management skills to handle the high volume of assets inherent in AI-driven production.
Software Knowledge: Proficiency in storyboarding software and basic competency in NLEs (Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, etc.).
Post-Production Expertise: Expertise in post-production and CG techniques to utilize at times to improve the outcome quality.
The Ideal Candidate
You are a "Director of the future"—someone who respects the power of a great story but isn't afraid to use emerging technology to tell it. You can move effortlessly from a high-level strategy meeting with the CPO to a granular technical session with your artists.
