ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Visual Lead who can both direct films and design books. You will ship 2 short films per year — narrative shorts, documentaries, music videos, or brand stories — and design all 3–4 of our annual book covers and interiors. You will also build and maintain nBook Media's entire visual brand system. This is a hybrid craft role: we need one person who can carry both the camera and the typographic pen.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

· Direct and edit 2 short films per year — narrative shorts, documentaries, music videos, or brand stories.

· Design all of nBook Media's book covers and interior layouts, including Tamil typography.

· Build and maintain nBook Media's visual brand system: colour, type, logo applications, templates.

· Shoot lightweight in-house content when budget does not justify a full crew.

· Commission and art-direct freelance cinematographers, colourists, illustrators, and animators.

· Grade and finish films in DaVinci Resolve.





· Supervise visual output across our website, social media, and marketing materials.

WHAT YOU MUST BRING

· A film school background (LV Prasad, Mindscreen, MGR, FTII, SRFTI, Whistling Woods) OR a design school background (NID, Srishti, IDC) with proven crossover work in the other craft.

· 3–5 years of shipping short films, brand films, or book / editorial design.

· A public portfolio with at least 3 short films AND 3 book or editorial designs, visible online.

· Fluency in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere (or Final Cut).

· Fluency in InDesign, Figma, and Illustrator.

· Competence with a mirrorless camera (Sony / Fuji / Canon) — you can shoot competently when needed.

· A Chennai address, or readiness to relocate immediately.
