Big one for AIFD this week. We just launched a real search tool on the directory — the **AI Video Creator Finder**. It's live right now: aifilmmakersdirectory.com/pages/browse-ai-video-creators Here's what it does. A brand, studio, or hiring manager lands on it and answers 3 quick questions — what industry/niche, what they need made, what tools matter to them. Then boom, instant results. Real, live filmmaker listings pulled straight from the directory. No form. No "we'll get back to you." Just results, right there. Why this matters for you: It only surfaces people based on what's actually tagged on their profile. Tools you use. Niches you serve. Format you specialize in. If your profile's thin, you're invisible to this thing. If it's filled out right, you're the answer to somebody's search. So here's the ask: go check your AIFD profile today. Make sure your tools are listed (Runway, Kling, Veo, ElevenLabs, whatever you actually use). Make sure your niche is there (Ecommerce, Real Estate, DTC, whatever fits). Make sure your format shows up (short-form, long-form, music video, UGC, etc). Five minutes of cleanup now could be the difference between showing up in somebody's shortlist next week or not. This is exactly the direction we're building AIFD in — less "hope someone finds you," more "the directory actually does the work of connecting you to the right person." This tool is step one. Go poke around, try a search yourself, see who comes up. And if your profile needs love, don't wait — go fix it now while this is top of mind.

More job offers are landing on my desk than I can personally place people for. Here's how that works now. Straight up: recruiters and studios have been reaching out more and more lately looking for AI filmmakers. Good problem to have. But it means I need a clear, fair way to connect you to that work — so here's the deal, two ways to do it. Option 1: Revenue Share - Not Available - Read this post https://www.skool.com/aifilmmakerscareeragents/i-killed-revshare-today-heres-why-and-what-changes-for-you?p=66156d2c Option 2: Subscription (flat rate, no revenue share) If you'd rather skip the percentage and just pay a flat membership rate for access to placements, here's the pricing: - $19/month or $97/year — this is the launch price, and it's ending soon - Locked in through August 31st - On September 1st, it goes up to $24/month or $200/year If you're serious about getting placed through AIFD/AIFCA, now's the cheapest it's going to be. Lock it in before the end of the month. Questions on either option, drop them below or DM me. — Alex

If you joined this community to find paid work as an AI video creator, your first priority should be setting up your profile on the AI Filmmakers Directory. Go to https://aifilmmakersdirectory.com and click Add New AI Video Business. Do it as soon as possible. Demand is growing fast across agencies, studios, SaaS companies, brands, production companies, and creator-led businesses. But clients cannot hire you if they cannot find you—or quickly understand why you are the right person for their project. A strong Directory profile gives you three major advantages: 1. Get discovered by active buyers The Directory is built for companies specifically searching for AI video talent. You are not competing for attention in a crowded feed. You are placing your work where buyers are already looking. 2. Help clients properly evaluate you A Pro Profile gives clients and AI search agents a deeper understanding of your specialties, experience, services, portfolio, tools, and creative approach. The easier you are to understand and evaluate, the easier you are to recommend and hire. 3. Increase your chances of being shortlisted When I am asked to recommend an AI filmmaker or assemble a project team, the Directory is one of the first places I look. Pro Profiles provide much more information, making it easier to match creators with the right opportunities and present them professionally to potential clients. A basic profile gets you listed. A strong Pro Profile helps you get found, understood, shortlisted, and recommended. The Pro plan is still available at its low founder pricing, but that price will increase as the Directory grows. So, two things to do this week: First: Create or upgrade your Directory profile. Show your strongest work and clearly explain your skills, services, creative strengths, and ideal projects. Second: Explore the free Classroom modules designed to strengthen your personal brand, improve how you present your work, and make you a more attractive and hireable AI filmmaker.
