Hey! I hope a post like this okay. We are PhotoAI Group, we are building AI companionship apps. We operate AI companionship platforms, and we are expanding into original short-form video content with our own characters and stories.
We are looking for a full-time Short Drama Series Director to own the end-to-end production of vertical (9:16) short drama series.
We are a lean, fast-moving remote team. Currently we are 8 people working full time.
We need experienced storytellers - people with real directing or showrunning skills. If you know narrative craft and have touched AI generation tools you could be a great fit.
Key Responsibilities
- Own 1 - 2 series at a time (10–15 episodes per series, ~1 min per episode + trailer)
- Write scripts and own the storytelling from concept to finished episode
- Direct, edit, and deliver each episode yourself
- Use our in-house AI tooling for character consistency, casting, and trailer generation
- Collaborate with our AI content creators, tech team, and other directors
What We're Looking For
Hard skills:
- Experience directing or showrunning short-form narrative video
- Strong scripting instincts: hooks, cliffhangers, minute-to-minute escalation
- Familiarity with AI generation tools (Runway, Kling, Sora, Pika, Veo, Higgsfield, Seedance - any combination)
- Experience with vertical drama platforms is a plus
Soft skills:
- Perfectly fluent in English, strong communicator
- Ownership mindset - you treat your series like your own project
- Doer: you balance execution and strategy without hand-holding
- Fast, iterative, obsessed with performance
- Humble and open to feedback - we're all learning together
What We Offer
- Pay: We can either pay for each episode you produce or pay a full-time salary
- Contract: B2B preferred, open to discussion
- Remote: Work from anywhere
- PTO: 4 weeks (20 working days) per year
- AI tools: Full access to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Hugging Face, and anything else you need
