KAREEM ADESHINA

A UKMVA Nominated producer who's recently transitioned from Music & Commercial to Film. In 2019 Kareem co-produced his first film - Play It Safe Directed by Mitch Kalisa - that went on to win the Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Short at SXSW Festival 2021. The film's success continued with a BIFA Nomination and was selected for the long list BAFTA Nominations in 2022.

 

Following this Kareem has produced three more short films, collaborating with directors Caleb Femi, Rashida Seriki and Eimear McBride on these and subsequently worked on two feature films as an Associate Producer.

Previously Kareem has also worked as a Head of Music Video at Greatcoat Films after a successful run at freelance producing promos for many major UK and US labels and well-known musicians like Wizkid, Mabel, Royal Blood, Aitch and many more.
