Together, Abiola and Elizabeth form a producing duo that reflects a shared eclectic taste, which has been developed over a range of professional experiences across their careers. Between them is a range of experience in film, high-end television, and short film production, working both with and within companies such as BBC Film, BFI Network, Channel 4, Film4, Lionsgate UK, Sid Gentle Films and Somesuch.
Over the last few years, they have established a notable familiarity with stories that stand out.
Abiola worked as co-producer and producer on two consecutive series of the multi-award-winning Disney+ show ‘Extraordinary’ (2023), which went on to win the 2024 Royal Television Society Programme Award for Scripted Comedy, and be nominated for the 2024 TV BAFTA Scripted Comedy award. Abiola was also Associate Producer on the multi-BAFTA nominated ‘How To Have Sex’ (2023), directed by Molly Manning Walker, which was awarded
Un Certain Regard at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Elizabeth, a 2023 graduate of the National Film and Television School’s Producing MA, produced the 2024 BAFTA winning short ‘Jellyfish and Lobster’ (2023), written and directed by Yasmin Afifi. ‘Jellyfish and Lobster’ is in development as a feature film as part of the Carbon slate. Elizabeth is currently working as Associate Producer on a BBC/BFI feature film with Devisio Pictures and Somesuch.
Abiola and Elizabeth have been selected for Screen International’s 2024 edition of Screen Stars of Tomorrow and are developing a slate of projects that reflect an affinity towards cross-cultural stories and a desire to develop narratives that thrive in specificity but also great potential for global reach.
