Position Type: Independent Contractor (with potential for full-time based on performance)
Rice Rocket is at the forefront of a revolutionary shift in the independent film industry with our "New Tech Hollywood" model—an innovative blend of "Kickstarter meets Shark Tank" on YouTube, powered by Wall Street investment. Our goal is to create a passive income stream through movies, video games, and merchandise, and we're building a groundbreaking digital media studio in SoMa to do it.
We are seeking a talented and driven AI Animation Director to join the team at Blue Robot Studios.
What You'll Do:
Lead the creative and technical direction for animation production using Artificial Intelligence (AI) software.
The primary focus will be producing high-impact, short-form "Sizzle" trailers to support our equity crowdfunding campaigns on YouTube.
Work closely with the executive team to rapidly iterate and deliver visually stunning content that drives investor engagement.
A strong preference for candidates proficient in the Anime style and aesthetics.
What You'll Bring:
Proven expertise with AI-powered animation and video generation software (e.g., stable diffusion, deep learning tools, etc.).
A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality, professional animation and visual storytelling, ideally in the Anime style.
Excellent technical skills and the ability to adapt quickly to new software and workflows.
Understanding of digital media production pipelines, especially for online distribution (YouTube).
Ability to work effectively as an independent contractor, managing your time and deliverables with minimal supervision.
Why Join Us?
This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a project designed to disrupt the independent film industry. While this starts as an independent contractor role, high performance will open the door to a full-time position with competitive company perks. You will be instrumental in defining the visual language of our new model, directly contributing to our success and growth.
How to Apply:
Please send your demo reel showcasing your best AI animation work (especially Anime), and your resume.
About Rice Rocket: The Future of Independent Digital Media
Rice Rocket is a pioneering digital media startup based in SOMA, San Francisco, dedicated to disrupting the traditional Hollywood model. We are building "New Tech Hollywood"—a system that empowers independent creators (comic artists, musicians, and YouTubers) to develop and monetize global media franchises (movies, video games, and merchandise).
Our core innovation is leveraging equity crowdfunding to invite retail investors—the audiences of these creators—to participate in early-stage private equity investment, earning passive income from the success of the franchises they help build. This model transforms audiences into stakeholders.
We are establishing San Francisco as the capital of this new media ecosystem, with plans for advanced digital production facilities, including Unreal sound stages, AI animation, and game development labs. We offer creative talent a powerful alternative to legacy studios.
This position is offered as a Contractor role, highly focused on achieving milestones, with the intent to transition to a full-time, salaried employee upon successful completion of the SAFE round.
The compensation structure includes:
Competitive Monthly Stipend (W-9 Contract).
Generous Company Stock Options (Equity ownership).
Health Benefits Stipend (to cover medical expenses).
Performance-based Christmas Bonus.
Join us in building the next major media technology hub right here in San Francisco. Submit a cover letter and resume for consideration.
