AI Microdrama Screenwriter

COL Group Co., Ltd. · Los Angeles, CA, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

We are looking for a forward-thinking AI Short Drama Screenwriter to join our in-house creative team.

This role goes beyond traditional screenwriting. You will be responsible for identifying high-potential source material (micro-dramas, web novels, games, or original concepts) and transforming it into high-retention, platform-optimized scripts designed for AI-produced short-form content.

We are looking for creators who are open-minded, highly adaptable, and excited about the future of AI-native storytelling — writers who can think structurally, move fast, and design content that scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze Chinese and international vertical micro dramas / short-form content to deeply understand pacing, structure, and audience psychology
  • Identify and adapt high-potential IP (micro dramas, web novels, games, or original ideas) into addictive, serialized short-form scripts
  • Design high-retention storytelling mechanics, including hooks, cliffhangers, and emotional beats tailored for short video platforms
  • Work closely with AI production teams to ensure scripts are scalable, visually executable, and commercially viable
  • Continuously explore new storytelling formats enabled by AI-generated characters, worlds, and narratives

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in short-form content screenwriting, web novels, or game writing
  • Strong instinct for fast-paced storytelling, episodic structure, and cliffhanger design
  • Deep understanding of short-form content dynamics and audience engagement psychology
  • Comfortable writing romance, drama, and emotionally intense narratives
  • High openness to AI — enthusiastic about AI tools and workflows
  • Ability to adapt quickly in a fast-evolving creative and technological environment
  • Strong analytical thinking — able to balance data-driven insights with creative judgment
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Self-driven, curious, and motivated to push creative boundaries
  • Bilingual in English and Chinese/Spanish is a strong plus (but not required)
