Branded as “One To Watch” by The Islander, British born, Nigerian raised Teniola Zara King, is a writer and director that recently graduated from the prestigious London Film School.

 

Teniola’s career in TV and film started when she was employed as a Production Assistant on Africa’s first late-night-talk-show, Highlites With IK, where she was quickly promoted to be the Line Producer on the show after only four months. After a year in this role, she also took on the job of Series Producer for M-Net TV Drama Series, Head Over Heels.

​

Hungry to acquire the skills and knowledge to create her own content, Teniola eventually resigned from her job to return to England to pursue a Masters in Filmmaking at the London Film School.

​

After two years of studying all aspects of the filmmaking process and working on countless short films in a variety of roles, Teniola decided to pursue the path of a writer and director.

​

Teniola has just completed her AMVCA nominated short film “Teju’s Tale” which is part of Unearthed Narratives a five-part short film series produced by DBK Studios in partnership with Sky Studios.

​

Teniola went on to Shadow Direct on Sky Original Drama, The Midwich Cuckoos and Shadow Direct on Netflix’s #1 Show Who Is Erin Carter? produced by Left Bank Pictures.​ She is currently developing her debut TV Series with DBK Studios and Sky Studios.
