Production Manager Position

At TCL Studios, we are building a team to create entertainment programs utilizing the latest AI technologies. To achieve this goal, we are recruiting Hollywood professionals with solid TV and film experience.

The AI technologies we utilize evolve on a regular basis. Currently, the workflows are similar to 3D animation, with some motion capture.

1. Supervise team in the execution of animated scenes.
2. Coordinate with producers, writers and directors to execute the creative direction.
3. Manage shot lists, notes, assets (videos, stills, audio).
4. Track team hours and coordinate with production accounting on this tracking.
5. Work closely with the lead production executive to manage all aspects of the production.

This is a fluid environment – key roles will evolve.

Key qualifications for this role:

1. Relevant experience as a production manager on TV series or films.
2. Solid experience in VFX and post-production.
3. Some experience with AI tools (nice to have, not a requirement).
