After over a decade-long career in live action where she wrote, directed, and produced multi-genre work that has been awarded and sold in global markets, Tendayi Nyeke transitioned into animation as a development executive for the Emmy Award Winning animation firm, Triggerfish Animation. Tendayi looked after the story development of a diverse slate of shorts, series, and feature films with global streamers and studios. She’s most proud of her role as Executive Producer on Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire, an animated African Sci-Fi Anthology with Disney+ for release in 2023, where she supported 14 directors across the continent. Her feature film Tribe made the official MIFA 2022 selection which she pitched at the Annecy Animation Festival and was highlighted by Cartoon Brew as one of the top 5 films to watch. Tendayi is thrilled about her current role as a co-executive producer for Netflix Animation Feature Film.

Tendayi holds an MBA in Music and Creative Industries and is passionate about where art and business meet. Her dream is to do her part to amplify diverse voices worldwide and use creativity to celebrate the fun, madness, and beauty all of us possess.
