Bio

Annie Award-winning and Children’s Emmy-nominated producer Tendayi Nyeke has over 15 years of experience in live-action writing, directing, and producing, which has earned her global recognition. She became a development executive at Emmy-winning Triggerfish Animation, where she led story development for shorts, series, and features in collaboration with international partners.

Notably, she served as Executive Producer for the Annie Award-winning Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire (Disney+, 2023), supporting 14 African directors, and was recognized by The LA Times as one of the top 2023 animated shows. Her feature film, Tribe, was a MIFA 2022 selection, was pitched at Annecy, and was highlighted by Cartoon Brew as one of the top five films in development to watch that year. It will also be pitched at the Durban Film Mart: Pitch and Finance Forum in 2025.

Currently, she’s developing an unannounced animated film for a global streamer. Tendayi holds an MBA in Music and Creative Industries, and her ultimate aspiration is to amplify diverse voices globally and harness creativity to celebrate the inherent fun, madness, and beauty within us all.
