## Description
If you see waitlist, just register and we will approve you manually. Thanks!!!  
We're hunting for the best creative director in LA! Join the Contest & Showcase Your Skills!  
OpenArt is building the founding creative director team — and we're throwing an afternoon by the beach!  
Come hang out with the OpenArt team and fellow creators building the future of AI filmmaking — with the opportunity to interview, win a prize, or both.  
Starts: TODAY!  
Submission Deadline: May 28, 11:59PM PST  
WATCH & WINNERS: in LA on May 30, Noon PST!  
The Competition  
This is part of OpenArt's process to find you. You'll have up to 9 days to make something around the theme. Submit your work and the best entries screen live at the event. Top three take home:  
🥇 1st — $1,500 in credits + $500 cash  
🥈 2nd — $700 in credits + $300 cash  
🥉 3rd — $250 in credits + $200 cash  
To assist with competition production, OpenArt grants 30K credits to everyone who submits their work to enter the competition.  
🎬 Theme: Open / Close  
Your story, your call — but it has to revolve around one (or both) of two words: open and close.  
One rule: we encourage you to add the OpenArt logo somewhere in your film. How it shows up is entirely up to you. Be creative; we want to see the logo become part of the story, not stapled to the end.  
Logo files + a set of reference characters and images are in this folder — feel free to use them, remix them, or ignore them entirely. Your call.  
What You Can Submit  
A short film, commercial, music video, or trailer built around the announced theme. 30 seconds to 1 minute preferred, longer is acceptable. It doesn’t need to be a fully resolved narrative — a scene, a fragment of a bigger world, or a single cohesive piece all work. We’re looking for vision and direction, not completeness.  
How We’ll Judge  
We invite you to keep the following in mind when creating your videos:  
Concept / Idea — Originality and clarity of the creative vision.  
Execution — How well the idea was brought to life.  
Story — Narrative structure, arc, and emotional impact.  
Visuals/Art — Aesthetic quality, style, and visual coherence.  
Creative Confidence — Be bold and make something that represents you and your unique artistic vision!  
Two Ways to Participate  
Submit your work and join us at the beach on the event day. Strongly preferred — finalists screen live, prizes are awarded in person, and you’ll have the chance to book a follow-up interview on the spot.  
Can’t make it to LA but still want to submit and be considered? Pick this option. You’re still eligible for prizes and the hiring opportunity.  
🎬 Submit your work to openartstudios@openart.ai by May 28 11:59 pm PT. Please also confirm your OpenArt account Email to receive credits. Competition open to US Residents willing to relocate to Bay Area.  
The Afternoon Agenda  
12:00 — Doors, lunch, drinks  
12:15 — Welcome  
12:30 — Competition screening + Winners announced  
3:00 — Mingle + open studio  
3:45 — Wrap  
Who we're looking for  
You're an experienced traditional filmmaker or advertisement director. Sharp eye, good taste, strong storytelling. You have a body of work you're genuinely proud to share — traditional film, commercials, music videos, animation, or quietly making some of the best AI work on the internet. Whatever your lane, we'd love to talk.  
AI experience is not a must — we value more your experience, taste, and curiosity & drive to adopt frontier technology.  
This role is open to US residents based in or willing to relocate to SF Bay Area.  
What We Offer  
Competitive Compensation: Up to 250k total package plus 401K.  
High-Profile Work: We collaborate with A-list celebrities and directors with feature film in the cinemas now, and with publicity rights for us.(Chris Brown just posted our video and tagged us.) And there’re many more to come.  
Career Upside: Founding Creative Director in a $300 million valuation AI startup.  
Creative Freedom, Real Product Impact: request features and see them getting built by 50+ engineers sitting next to you.  
More Benefits: Unlimited OpenArt credits, insurance, daily meals and drinks, PTO, wellness benefits and more.  
🌊 Beachside venue 🍽️ Lunch and drinks provided 🎟️ Application-based — please RSVP via the link  
We can't wait to meet YOU!  
✈️ Bonus perk: your film could end up at 30,000 feet.  
Standout entries get put in front of Sky Screen AI — the crew making studio-quality, AI-native entertainment for airline passengers. They're hunting for premium creators for future commissioned projects, which means the right film here could turn into actual paid work (and a very captive audience somewhere over the Pacific). Make something great and you might just earn your wings.  
Who we are  
OpenArt is a global top AI creative platform helping define the future of filmmaking and storytelling with AI. We are one of the top partners for frontier models by OpenAI, Google, Seedance etc., and have 8M creators worldwide.  
Machine Cinema is the global community for AI-native filmmakers — 20,000+ members across 30+ countries, with events, studios, and partnerships powering the next generation of creative work with AI.
