Synima
Synima is a global creative video agency making award-winning video and animation for some of the world's biggest brands in healthcare, finance, and technology. From our studios in New York, London, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam, we take work from strategy to final delivery. Our in-house and on-location crews cover high-end 3D and 2D animation, cinematic live action, and full generative AI production, which means the answer to "can we actually do that?" is almost always yes.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Freelance Producer/Director to join our growing creative team. This is a dual role: you will produce projects end to end, and you will direct them on set.
That means you are as comfortable building a budget and a schedule as you are standing on set calling the shots, putting a nervous contributor at ease before an interview, and directing talent to get a performance that serves the story. You will take briefs from concept to final delivery across live action, animation, and AI production, for a client list spanning global brands in technology, healthcare, and financial services. If you are equally happy writing a shot list at your desk and running the floor on a busy shoot day, this role is for you.
