    Open call · Film students

    Film us.Frame us.Tell our story.

    Pzaz is about to make a short film, from first idea to final frame, using our own storyboarding platform. We're looking for one film student, fluent in English and Italian, to work with us in person at our office in Torino and tell the story of us telling a story: for 3 months, every day on social media in docufilm style. After that, you can join us making the real film.

    The project

    Three stories. One inside the other.

    We make a film with Pzaz. You make a story about us making it. The audience watches both unfold in real time.

    1. ACT I · WIDE
      1Our story

      We write and storyboard a short film

      The Pzaz team takes an idea from blank page to script, storyboard, shot list and animatic, entirely in Pzaz. Real deadlines, real arguments, real decisions.

    2. ACT II · MEDIUM
      2Your story, daily

      You document it on social, docufilm style, every day

      Reels, shorts, behind-the-scenes, stories and carousels, shot and cut docufilm style, in English and Italian. You decide what today's story is. 2+ hours of creating a day.

    3. ACT III · CLOSE-UP
      3The final cut

      A film ready to shoot

      After 3 months the short film is written, storyboarded and ready to shoot, and your daily story shows how it got there.

    4. ACT IV · ON SET
      4After the 3 months

      Join us making the film

      Then the real film gets made, and you can join the team making it.

    Who we're looking for

    A filmmaker who already thinks in feeds.

    You study film, and you already know how to make people stop scrolling. You can shoot it, cut it and post it the same day, and still care about the long story.

    You must

    Required
    • Be a film, video or media student (or a recent graduate)
    • Speak and write English and Italian fluently
    • Have real experience creating social content: an account, a client or a channel you've grown
    • Commit to 2 or more hours of creating, every day of the project
    • Shoot and edit on your own, from phone to timeline
    • Work with us in person at our office in Torino, most days of the project

    Bonus points

    Nice to have
    • A documentary eye: you find the story in what actually happens
    • Comfortable on camera as well as behind it
    • Curious about AI in filmmaking, sceptical included
    • Subtitling, motion graphics or sound design
    • Already living in or near Torino
    EN + IT

    Bilingual is not a nice-to-have. You'll create every piece in both languages, so we'll ask you to show both in your application.

    The role

    What you'll make. What you'll get.

    Every day

    Social content

    Docufilm-style short-form video and posts for Pzaz's Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn, in English and Italian.

    After the 3 months

    Join the film

    The next step: join the team making the real film, from the shoot to the final cut.

    In return

    Pay, credit, a real portfolio

    Credit on the social series, a place on the film's team, full Pzaz Pro access, and a body of published work with real audiences.

    Who we are

    Every story deserves a shared vision.

    Pzaz is the AI storyboarding platform for filmmakers. Writers, directors and producers use it to turn scripts and ideas into storyboards, animatics, shot lists and pitch decks, in one connected workspace. AI speeds up the exploring. The filmmaker keeps every creative choice.

    We're advised by people who have built film and television at Netflix, Disney, the BBC, NBCUniversal and Al Jazeera English.

    • Script to screen

      Storyboards, animatics, shot lists and pitch decks, all connected

    • 30+ languages

      Teams storyboard in their own language

    • The story comes first

      Built for storytelling, not just rendering images

    Why this matters

    Everyone's arguing about AI and film. Almost nobody is showing the work.

    Most of what people see about AI in filmmaking is a demo reel or a hot take. What's missing is the honest middle: a team with a deadline, making creative calls, using a tool where it helps and ignoring it where it doesn't.

    That's what you'll capture. Not an ad for software, but a record of how a story actually gets made today, by people, with new tools on the desk. Done right, it becomes something film students and working filmmakers learn from.

    For you, it's a rare thing: a documentary subject with full access, from day one, with an audience already watching.
