Narrative Podcast Director

We are looking for a Podcast Director to join our team.

We are looking for someone to join our team to help us shape the story and edit our new narrative podcast. We already have great ingredients but we’re looking for someone to help us make it truly something special.

The project is a collaboration between a film industry expert and a particle physicist. Together we are looking at how AI is likely to change movies in the near future. As well as speaking to experts, we are running real-world experiments. The major experiment is a crazy project with a strong narrative drive. We expect the final podcast to be about 45 minutes per episode, telling our journey and bringing in audio clips from our guests on the themes.

Our first season focuses on AI and screenwriting, allowing us to talk about broader topics than just film. In just a few years, AI is going to force us all to rethink what we know about creativity, art, copyright, ownership and more. Jobs will be created and lost, and culture will be forever altered. It’s all about to explode, and in this podcast we’ll peak into the future to see what this might mean. 

We have already conducted around thirty audio interviews with experts in film and science, along with recording a load of audio diaries along the way. We have structured it into a loose narrative, which weaves together our audio dairies, the interviews and new links we will record bespoke.

We feel that this can be more than just a bunch of interviews but can really bring to life the near future of film and beyond. So we want help to ensure that we tell it in the most powerful way possible.

The job will involve:

  • REVIEWING. Listening to the 40+ hours of existing audio. Recorded on Riverside, with high-quality audio and split tracks. We have already got them transcribed and so you can also read the transcripts simultaneously or separately.

  • SCRIPTING. Talking with us about our proposed structure for the first season (twelve episodes). You will likely want to evolve this as you dive into the interviews. We’re open to ideas and are looking to truly collaborate.

  • TAGGING. We would like the transcripts to be tagged with them to help us structure future episodes. We have already begun this and have a system for doing so.   This allows for useful sections to be identified during your first play-through and to be put into sections for later structuring.

  • EDITING. We would like it to be built in Audition, with shared files so that we can help with edits and structuring (although you will be leading this). So we presume you’ll need to prepare the interviews, sync the tracks etc.

  • FINISHING. Fine-tuning the edits. Ideally also mastering the final audio, but this can be done by a separate person (please make it clearer what you can and cannot do when applying).

This is ready to start now and we would like this approached as close to full-time as possible. 

To apply, please email director@cinema.ai with the following details:

  • A little about your background

  • What type of audio work you excel at

  • A few examples of your past work. Please provide context such as what you had to work with, budget and schedule.

  • What time commitment you can apply (volume and time zones etc)

  • Your rates. We can talk about the final payment during the hiring process, as you will no doubt want to know more information before locking into a figure or structure.  But in the meantime, it would be useful to know roughly what you charge and how you like to structure it (i.e. all in, per episode, per day, etc).
