Kia Moses | Screenwriter & Film Director
Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer Of TCP Those Creative People
‘Jamerican’ Kia Moses was born at Howard University Hospital, Washington D.C., and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, where she still resides. In 2007, she graduated with a BFA (Honors) in Advertising from The School Of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York and was ranked in the ‘top 100 Advertising Students in the U.S.’. After working at ad agencies from New York to London, Kia returned home where she co-founded TCP Those Creative People/TCP Tings. A creative ideas and product innovation company specializing in Jamaican greeting cards, stationery, tote bags and novelty gifts – using Jamaican culture.
Kia made her screenwriting and directorial debut with ‘Flight’ in 2018. The co-directed Jamaican short film won 17 awards at festivals worldwide, was the 2019 Diversity In Cannes winner, selected for a special screening during Cannes Film Festival, one of 5 finalists at the 2019 American Black Film Festival and currently has a 2-year licensing agreement with HBO.
Since then, Kia has gone on to direct music videos, TV ads, branded content and is currently working on her first feature script. In February of 2020, she was selected by HBO to shadow a director on HBO’s ‘A Black Lady Sketch Show’ in Los Angeles and also represented Jamaica as a judge in the ‘Direction’ category of the esteemed 58th Annual D&AD Awards in London, UK in May.
Her hobbies include reading, writing poetry, research, photography and confidently screaming out wrong answers at Jeopardy. Of all the creative projects she has had the privilege of being a part of, her proudest is by far – the birth of her daughter in 2020.
