Director Scriptwriter AI-Generated Serialized Vertical Content

Role Overview

We are hiring a Narrative Lead to create and direct serialized micro-drama and entertainment content built entirely using AI-generated assets.

There is no live-action filming.

All characters, environments, shots, and scenes are generated using AI tools in collaboration with an AI Content Creator / Prompt Engineer and a Video Editor.

This role owns the story engine, emotional architecture, and creative direction of each series. You will design bingeable short-form episodes optimized for vertical platforms (Reels/TikTok-style), where hooks, pacing, and cliffhangers drive completion and continued viewing.

This is algorithm-native storytelling built for AI-native production.

Core Ownership

You Are Accountable For

Series concept development and long-term narrative arcs

Scriptwriting and episodic structure

Character development and continuity logic

Scene-by-scene breakdowns for AI asset generation

Emotional pacing and cliffhanger engineering

Final creative approval before publishing

You direct through narrative precision and visual intent, not through physical production.
