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

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.

Soft Skills

• Strong communication & collaborative skills (perfectly fluent in English)
• Goal‑oriented, ownership and commitment
• ⚡️ Doer mindset - we are moving fast and need people who can balance execution, planning, and strategy
• ⏱️ Obsessive about speed, performance and iteration
• Humble - willing to learn, open to feedback
