AI Short Drama Director at EverAI - Remote Worldwide — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Fully Location-Independent Role — EverAI explicitly offers "Work From Anywhere" and operates a 100% remote team across all global regions (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania). For digital nomads, this is as open as it gets.
Async vs. Sync Balance: The role is output-driven — you own 1–2 series at a time and deliver completed episodes. While collaboration with a distributed team is required, the creative/directing workflow is inherently self-directed. Expect some overlap hours for syncs, but no rigid 9-to-5 requirement is stated. This is suitable for nomads in varied timezones, though European or Americas timezone proximity likely helps for team meetings.
Nomad-Friendly Perks:
- Co-working budget: 35–40 USD per visit, up to twice monthly — perfect for hot-desking at spaces in Medellín, Chiang Mai, or Lisbon.
- Equipment: Laptop + up to 250 USD monitor budget covers your mobile office setup.
- Health allowance: 100 USD/month helps offset travel insurance or local health plans — useful but modest for pricier destinations.
- Annual team meetup: One paid gathering keeps the team connected without constant travel obligations.
Visa Considerations: With no salary range published, it's harder to evaluate affordability vs. cost of living. Popular nomad hubs like Lisbon (Portugal D8 visa), Thailand's LTR visa, or Colombia's digital nomad visa are viable options depending on your nationality. The B2B contract structure is actually advantageous — many digital nomad visas require self-employed or freelance income, which a B2B contract satisfies.

Your Role

- Collaborate with our team of AI Content Creators, tech team, other Short Film Directors, and our exec team.
Your Qualifications
Hard Skills
- 4+ years directing or showrunning short-form narrative video.
- Strong scripting instincts: hooks, cliffhangers, minute-to-minute escalation.

- Experience with vertical drama platforms.
