Summary

I’m an award-winning commercial director and production company owner looking for a long-term creative partner to help build a YouTube channel focused on original, high concept narrative films. This is not an AI content farm. We’re creating cinematic short stories with the ambition of projects like Love, Death + Robots, Black Mirror, and The Twilight Zone, using AI as the production pipeline. I’m looking for someone who can take a finished script and help bring it to life through today’s best AI filmmaking tools. What you’ll do * Create consistent characters and environments * Generate cinematic imagery * Animate shots using the best available AI video tools * Solve continuity and consistency challenges * Iterate quickly based on creative feedback * Deliver organized project files and final assets The ideal candidate You have exceptional visual taste. You understand filmmaking, composition, lighting, pacing, and storytelling. You stay current with the latest AI tools and know which ones are best for different tasks. You’re resourceful. If one workflow isn’t working, you find another. You’re excited about building something original instead of pumping out generic AI content. Tools (examples) Experience with some or most of the following is a plus: * Veo * Kling * Seedance * Runway * Midjourney * FLUX * ComfyUI * ElevenLabs * Topaz * DaVinci Resolve * Photoshop If you use different tools and can produce outstanding work, that’s completely fine. This could become a long-term opportunity Initially, we’ll produce one or two narrative shorts each month. If we work well together, I’d like this to grow into an ongoing creative partnership across YouTube, original IP, and commercial projects. To apply Please include: * Your three best AI narrative videos. * A brief description of your workflow. * Which AI tools you currently rely on most. * Your monthly availability. * Your preferred monthly retainer or hourly rate. Most importantly: Tell me about a project you’re genuinely proud of and why it stands out. Paid test project required for finalists.
