Summary

AI CINEMATIC VIDEO DIRECTOR / FILMMAKER We are seeking an exceptional AI filmmaker with strong cinematic storytelling skills to help create proof-of-concept scenes and promotional materials for our feature film, The Séance Society. Website: www.seancesocietyfilm.com This is not UGC, influencer content, talking heads, or generic social media advertising. We are looking for a filmmaker who thinks like a director—someone who understands atmosphere, performance, pacing, cinematography, music, editing, and visual storytelling. The Séance Society is a feature-length coming-of-age horror film built around a franchise engine: a forbidden book that turns fear into physical form...and a familiar face. The project already has professional storyboards, and active industry interest. We are looking for a top-tier AI filmmaker who can help bring key sequences to life. The ideal candidate can take storyboards, character designs, music, and creative direction and transform them into haunting, cinematic scenes that feel like moments from a real feature film. Responsibilities: • Create cinematic AI-generated sequences from storyboards and creative direction. • Maintain character consistency across multiple shots and scenes. • Integrate music, camera movement, editing, and visual storytelling to create emotional impact. • Collaborate on horror, fantasy, suspense, and dramatic sequences. • Refine scenes based on creative feedback. • Deliver polished footage suitable for investors, presentations, proof-of-concept materials, and social media promotion. Ideal Qualifications: • Extensive experience with AI filmmaking and cinematic video creation. • Strong understanding of directing, cinematography, editing, lighting, and visual storytelling. • Experience creating narrative, horror, fantasy, thriller, or dramatic content. • Proficiency with tools such as Veo, Kling, Runway, Pika, Midjourney, Flux, ComfyUI, or similar platforms. • Ability to maintain visual continuity and character consistency across multiple shots. • Strong creative instincts and collaborative communication skills. To Apply: Please provide: • Examples of cinematic AI filmmaking work. • Examples demonstrating storytelling, character consistency, and atmosphere. • A brief overview of your workflow and AI tools. • Your availability and rates. This is an ambitious feature-film project, and we are looking for a true AI film director—not simply an editor or prompt operator. If you can create scenes that feel emotionally engaging, cinematic, haunting, and theatrical, we'd love to hear from you.
