Their recent collaborations on the Apple Music & Rihanna Super Bowl Halftime show won a Cannes Gold Lion for Entertainment for Music, Cannes Silver Lion for Social Film Series, a D&AD award nomination for direction, and 5 AICP nominations, including Best New Director (for which they were awarded).

Recently King She was invited by the Young Director Awards to develop and host a Podcast Series. With a lauded background in journalism and cultural anthropology, the duo delve into the documentation of filmmakers’ processes with what Shots magazine calls ‘a deep and entertaining dive into mindsets and experiences of both rising and established filmmakers.’ Listen to it here.
