Overview

AfterQuery hires working producers and directors to build the question sets that teach AI models how production decisions actually get made. You will write scenarios drawn from film, television and theater work, then grade how well a model answers them. The job runs remote and asynchronous, so you pick your hours around existing production commitments. Your scenarios push on things like script interpretation, shot composition, scheduling and budget calls, which gives the models a grounded view of how creative projects move from page to screen.

What You'll Do6

  • Write production scenarios and case studies that test a model on script interpretation, shot composition, talent direction and creative problem-solving.
  • Cover the operational side of production too, including scheduling, budget management and post-production workflows.
  • Review model answers and score them against accepted production practice and industry standards.
  • Give detailed written feedback on where an answer goes wrong and what a working producer or director would do instead.
  • Work with other media production specialists and technical staff to calibrate how hard each question should be.
  • Balance challenge and clarity so each item tests real production judgment without turning into a trick question.

Requirements8

  • Bachelor's degree in Film, Theater, Media Production or a related area, or the equivalent in professional credits.
  • A track record as a producer, director or production lead, with working command of production workflows and the creative process.
  • Strong analytical reading and writing, plus the discipline to catch small inaccuracies in a draft answer.
  • Confident verbal communication for team discussions on question design and difficulty.
  • Several years of production experience is preferred, ideally spanning more than one format such as film, TV, theater, commercials or digital content.
  • Background in production training, guild or association work, or media technology projects is a plus.
  • Budgeting, crew management, post-production or distribution experience counts in your favor.
  • Exposure to AI tools or tech-driven production applications is welcome.

Who Should Apply

Producers and directors with several years across film, TV, theater or digital work who can explain production trade-offs in plain written English. Guild involvement, budgeting or post-production depth strengthens a candidacy, and comfort with AI tools helps.

Salary Insight

The rate is $75.00 per hour. Hourly expert-network work in media and creative domains commonly lands between $50 and $100 depending on the depth of credits, so this sits in the middle of the band and matches a producer or director with a solid multi-format portfolio.
