I just posted this information on my LinkedIn page. Please Like, Repost, Comment to support AIFD’s visibility and attract more studios, producers and interested eyeballs. Link’s below. “Three job posts I pulled off LinkedIn this week, back to back: → Senior Generative AI Designer — CoCreativ, NYC, $130K–170K, hybrid → AI Video Creator & Editor — Jobgether, remote, 100+ applicants → AI Movie Director — a funded stealth startup, remote, $90K–140K, "actively reviewing" That's not a coincidence. Here's what it actually tells you: 1. "AI Movie Director" is now a real job title with a real salary band. Eighteen months ago that phrase was a joke on Twitter. Now it's a line item in a startup's org chart. 2. The money is real money. $90K-170K isn't "here's some free credits, tag us." Companies are budgeting AI filmmaking as a core function, not a side experiment. 3. Over 100 applicants on two of these three. The talent is showing up. Employers just have no way to actually tell who's good — which is exactly the problem nobody's solving yet. 4. This isn't one weird company. It's an agency, a hiring marketplace, and a funded startup — three completely different business types, all hiring for the same skillset at the same time. 5. These are structured roles, not one-off freelance gigs. Titles, salary bands, hybrid/remote policy — that means career paths are forming in real time, not just gigs. The demand is here. The candidates are here. What's missing is a way for the two to actually find and trust each other.

They wrote me: we're specifically looking for people with solid Paid Ads experience. That's the key criteria for us right now, so ideally anyone you'd suggest would have that background. Please let me know if you are interested in applying. Submit your AIFD profile below. Please note: You must have an AIFD Pro subscription for me to submit your profile. RevShare is no longer available, I made a post that explains why.

Okay friends — Here's the full film. Just need to make some minimal changes to signs and what not. As it’s currently in the Higgsfield competition and trying to make the shortlist, would appreciate please a like or a comment. It’s short, weird, funny, and based on a completely insane WWII spy story. Watch here: https://higgsfield.ai/@hallucinating_blueberry_3000/projects/goodnight-milwaukee (sorry about the 1080p - been having trouble uploading to Higgs and this was the only version that worked this time. It will improve with the next cut)

So this happened yesterday. The CEO of a company that just raised $100M messages me on LinkedIn out of nowhere. Not "hey let's connect." Not a pitch. He opens with: "Hi Alex, your background caught my attention. I'm the CEO of Inkitt and we produce AI-native film across sci-fi, superhero and romance stories. I'm hiring a Producer Editor to take scripts to final cut, shaping pacing and emotional continuity. Would love to connect!" That's Ali Albazaz. Inkitt is the real deal — millions of readers, stories that get published on Galatea, then turned into shows on CandyJar. He's not dabbling. He's building an actual AI moviemaking pipeline and he's putting real money behind it. And he found me because of what I've built with AI Filmmakers Directory. Not because I applied. Not because I know somebody. Because the work is visible and it's the kind of thing that makes a guy who just raised nine figures stop scrolling and type a message. I want to sit with that for a second, because this is exactly why I keep pounding the table about building in public and having a real, findable body of work. This wasn't luck. This was two years of putting AI filmmaking stuff out into the world where the right person could stumble onto it. Now here's the part I have to be honest about. The role is on-site in SF, five days a week. I've got kids in Delaware. I'm not uprooting my family for this, so I told him straight — I'm out, but I know people who'd be great for it. He said send them over. So here's the opening, if you want it: - Producer Editor at Inkitt - Taking scripts to final cut — you're the one shaping pacing and emotional continuity, not just cutting clips - On-site in San Francisco, 5 days/week - They're building an actual "R&D AI moviemaking studio" — this isn't a side project - Relocation package available, but heads up: US-based or US citizens only (the paperwork for non-residents is apparently a nightmare on their end, so international folks — I already asked, it's a no for now)

Someone on Linkedin reached out. They’re a supplement company looking for an AI video creator. 5 - 10 K per month. Let me know below if you’re interested. You must have existing DTC experience or spec reel.
