Job Description
In this position, you will conceive, write, and pitch story ideas, developing approved concepts into production-feasible, fully planned projects and finished products. You will conduct research for all assignments and projects as appropriate, conceptualize stories, and develop treatments and pitch decks for film projects.

You will coordinate the camera crew, art directors, costume designers, and musical composer to ensure a consistent creative execution while filming and with a film editor to complete the finished film.
The ideal candidate has experience working within budgetary constraints, adhering to production schedules, and managing culture and decorum on set. You should have exceptional interpersonal skills, respond positively to feedback, be willing to make changes, and be able to manage multiple project deadlines simultaneously.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s degree preferred
- Experience in directing, managing film budgets, creative storytelling, strategic thinking, quality writing, research, and fact-checking
