Domain: Media and Entertainment

Location: Israel

Company size: 5-10 employees

Founded in: 2024

Our new client is something really innovative! This Israel-based startup is building a mobile-first app for micro dramas - a short, scripted series made for smartphones. Think of it as TikTok with short episodes lasting 1 to 1.5 minutes.

The project already has strong support from an investor who believes in its massive potential. As it is still in the early development stage, this job is your chance to be part of a unique entertainment product. Are you ready to work on something fresh and impactful? Check out the opportunity below!

• Professional Directing Background: Proven experience as a Film Director or Showrunner with a portfolio that demonstrates a deep grasp of "the language of film"
• Cinematic Mastery: An expert understanding of film theory, pacing, and how to evoke human emotion through a lens
• Tech-Savvy Mindset: You should have a basic, functional understanding of AI tools (like Midjourney, Runway, or Luma) and a massive appetite to learn more. You aren't afraid of new interfaces or evolving workflows
• NLE Proficiency: Expert-level skills in industry-standard software like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Avid
• Post-Production Knowledge: High-level proficiency in After Effects or similar tools for masking, compositing, and "fixing it in post"
• Adaptability: The ability to find creative workarounds for the current limitations of AI technology
• At least Upper-Intermediate level of English

Portfolio with relevant work (required):

• Strong personal creative projects using AI tools
• 1-5 minute AI video or experimental film in portfolio
• Instagram profile with updated videos

Nice to have

• Experience with AI audio/music tools (e.g., ElevenLabs, Udio, Suno).
• A "hacker" mentality - someone who loves testing new tools the day they drop

• Showrunning & Vision: Lead the narrative strategy and maintain a cohesive "look and feel" across a complete short drama series
• Directorial Leadership: Apply your mastery of lighting, composition, and performance to AI outputs, ensuring they mirror the quality of high-end television
• Creative Asset Management: Use AI-assisted tools to build storyboards, shot lists, and backplates that align with your directorial vision
• Technical Execution: Personally responsible for the final "director’s cut." While you’ll have support, you should be comfortable getting hands-on with generation, assembly, and refinement
• VFX & Polish: Oversee (and perform) the cleanup of AI artifacts to ensure visual consistency and a seamless cinematic experience
• Ethical Oversight: Ensure all content meets brand guidelines and respects intellectual property standards

• People-first management with minimal bureaucracy
