About the Role
What if your eye for visual storytelling could directly shape how AI understands cinema? We're looking for Film Scene Description Specialists to watch short video clips and translate what they see into precise, structured prose — capturing camera movement, mood, pacing, and visual emotion in a way that teaches AI systems how to interpret the language of film.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone who loves visual media and has a knack for clear, descriptive writing. No professional film experience required — just a genuine interest in how scenes are crafted and a commitment to doing quality work.
