Kristian King is a writer/director/producer originally from Fayetteville, GA and is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.  After spending most of her time pursuing a career in Clinical Research, she took a hard right into film.  Recently, she graduated from New York University’s dual degree MBA/MFA program with Stern School of Business and Tisch School of the Arts, where she was awarded the 2019 Media Services Award for her work as producer on over fifteen short films. Her short film, The Cure, premiered at the American Black Film Festival in 2019. She’s continually inspired by female, Black, and Southern stories.  Her driving force is to give voice to underrepresented stories, so that more people can find facets of themselves reflected on screen and as a result feel can feel heard.
