Role overview

The Creative Director is responsible for shaping the overall direction of the studio’s work. This role sits at the intersection of concept, execution, and review, guiding projects from early thinking through final delivery. The focus is not on constant output, but on clarity, alignment, and long-term coherence across film and photographic work.

The role requires comfort with ambiguity, patience in decision-making, and the ability to listen closely before acting. Creative direction here is practiced as an evolving process rather than a fixed vision.

About the role

As Creative Director, you work closely with producers, cinematographers, photographers, and post-production teams to define tone, narrative focus, and visual language. You are involved early, helping projects find direction before form, and remain present throughout to ensure continuity and restraint.

The role values dialogue over instruction. Rather than providing answers upfront, the Creative Director helps create conditions where strong ideas can surface, develop, and resolve naturally.

Key responsibilities

• Define and maintain creative direction across film and photography projects
• Collaborate closely with production and post-production teams
• Review work at each stage to ensure clarity and alignment
• Support concept development and early-stage thinking
• Provide feedback that emphasizes process, pacing, and intent
• Represent the studio’s approach through thoughtful leadership

Required experience

• Demonstrated experience directing or shaping creative work
• Strong understanding of film and photographic processes
• Ability to guide teams through dialogue rather than hierarchy
• Comfort working across multiple stages of production
• Clear communication and considered decision-making

Working environment

This role is based on-site within the studio. Workdays are structured around focus and collaboration, with time allocated for review, discussion, and reflection. The pace is steady rather than reactive, allowing space for ideas to mature before resolution.

Compensation and approach

Compensation is aligned with experience and responsibility. The studio prioritizes long-term sustainability, clarity of expectations, and working conditions that support thoughtful creative practice.

Closing note

This role is suited to individuals who value process as much as outcome. If your approach to creative direction is grounded in patience, attention, and collaboration, this position offers space to work with intent and care.
