Storytime careers
Storytime is a mobile platform that empowers storytellers to create expressive films using synthetic media technology.
The way we create media is transforming dramatically. Gone are the days when a small elite class creates what the masses consume. People craft their own worlds in Roblox, Mario has evolved into Mario Maker, and meme culture has turned everything into a personal artistic medium.
This trend has yet to impact all media, however. Creating a film or TV series still requires a massive budget and production team. We’d rather live in a world where a few friends can create the next hit film franchise from their phones.
To realize this vision, we created a company. Storytime provides creative writers with a new filmmaking toolkit. We pair breakthroughs in machine learning with intuitive design to make storytelling simple, expressive, and most of all, rewarding. After all, the joy of storytelling lies as much in the creative process as it does in the result.
But Storytime is more than just a toolkit. It’s a global community of artists. Much like open-source computing, the future of filmmaking will be collaborative. To that end, Storytimers create and share the building blocks of great stories: characters, environments, music, and more.
Paradigm shifts this large are rare. And yet, for all its differences, this strange new world will remain the same in one way: people will always seek meaning and expression through storytelling. Whether in books, film, music, or video games, a great story is the cornerstone of what it means to be human.
