Careers at ACME AI & FX

Join the people building
cinema's next chapter. Creative. Technical. Transformative.

We're building a production company where generative AI is a craft — wielded with intention, shaped by vision, and held to the same standard as any filmmaking discipline.

Every role at ACME AI & FX sits at the intersection of visual storytelling and emerging technology. We're looking for people who bring both a filmmaker's eye and a technologist's rigour to the work.

Built on Intelligence
& Autonomy

Collaborative Clarity

Open dialogue. Shared context. Aligned execution. We bring clarity to the complex so great ideas can scale.

Artist-Led AI

Tools generate. Humans judge - the artist’s eye is the final decision. Our taste cannot be automated.

Continuous Iteration

Build. Test. Refine. Repeat. We ship early and iterate often. Perfection is a moving target, and we’re always chasing it.

We're looking for a new kind of image-maker.

The Production Lens is seeking a Junior AI Artist to help shape the visual language of a feature film using generative AI as a tool. This role sits at the intersection of visual effects, filmmaking, and emerging technology.

You'll be translating creative concepts into controlled, production-ready visuals. You'll need to think like a filmmaker, experiment like a technologist, and problem-solve in real time.

Generative AI harnesses imagination. We need someone who knows how to navigate an intuitive workflow, without compromising delivery of the brief.

What You'll Do
  • Generate high-quality start frames aligned with direction
  • Translate scripts, storyboards, and verbal concepts into visual outcomes
  • Refine and iterate AI outputs with precision and intent
  • Troubleshoot inconsistencies and solve visual challenges
  • Work closely with production to ensure images serve the film
What We're Looking For
  • Strong experience with generative AI image platforms & tools (Google Flow, Freepik, Flux, Seedream, Midjourney etc.)
  • Ability to interpret and execute against creative briefs
  • Excellent visual taste and attention to detail
  • Comfort working inside evolving workflows
  • Calm, solutions-focused mindset
Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with ComfyUI
  • Background in compositing, photography, VFX, or design
  • Experience refining AI outputs in Photoshop

Midweight
AI Artist
LondonContractImmediate Start

We're looking for a new kind of image-maker.

The Production Lens is seeking a Midweight AI Artist to help shape the visual language of a feature film using generative AI as a tool. This role sits at the intersection of visual effects, filmmaking, and emerging technology.

You'll be translating creative concepts into controlled, production-ready visuals with increasing independence. You should be comfortable taking ownership of standard brief shots and contributing to the consistency of a sequence, not just a single frame.

Generative AI harnesses imagination. We need someone who can navigate an intuitive workflow while maintaining discipline, clarity, and delivery against the brief.

What You'll Do
  • Generate high-quality start frames aligned with direction
  • Translate scripts, storyboards, and verbal concepts into visual outcomes
  • Work independently on standard shots with minimal supervision
  • Refine and iterate AI outputs with precision and intent
  • Support AI animation workflows where required
  • Identify and flag technical or creative blockers early
  • Support visual continuity across adjacent shots
What We're Looking For
  • Strong experience with generative AI image platforms & tools (Google Flow, Freepik, Flux, Seedream, Midjourney etc.)
  • Experience refining AI outputs in Photoshop
  • Experience supporting AI-driven animation workflows
  • Familiarity with compositing and multi-layer image construction
  • Ability to interpret creative briefs and execute independently
  • Strong visual taste and sequence-level awareness
  • Proactive, solutions-focused mindset
Nice to Have
  • Background in photography, VFX, or design
  • Solid working knowledge of ComfyUI
  • Experience guiding other creatives/artists towards output

Senior
AI Artist
LondonContractImmediate Start

We're looking for a new kind of image-maker.

The Production Lens is seeking a Senior AI Artist to help lead the visual language of a feature film using generative AI as a tool. This role sits at the intersection of visual effects, filmmaking, and emerging technology.

You'll be responsible for translating complex creative concepts into controlled, production-ready visuals — often setting the benchmark for the rest of the team. Senior artists carry greater independence on complex or hero shots and are expected to clarify ambiguity before generation begins, not after.

Generative AI harnesses imagination. We need someone who can shape that imagination into consistent, repeatable visual outcomes, while guiding others in the process.

What You'll Do
  • Lead the creation of hero and complex start frames
  • Translate high-level creative direction into executable visual systems
  • Establish visual consistency across sequences
  • Refine prompt frameworks and generation methodologies
  • Support advanced AI animation and multi-pass workflows
  • Identify brief ambiguity or scope conflicts before work begins
  • Mentor mid and junior artists and contribute to internal review
What We're Looking For
  • Advanced experience with generative AI image platforms & tools (Google Flow, Freepik, Flux, Seedream, Midjourney etc.)
  • Deep working knowledge of ComfyUI
  • Basic understanding of Python, ideally with experience building or modifying custom nodes
  • Strong understanding of AI-driven animation workflows
  • Proven ability to deliver complex, multi-element visuals independently
  • Familiarity with compositing and layered image pipelines
  • Strong conceptual thinking and art direction awareness
  • Leadership presence and mentoring mindset
Nice to Have
  • Experience with Nuke, Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine

  • Maintain consistency in lighting logic, composition, and scale
What We're Looking For
  • Working knowledge of ComfyUI
