Available to hire
Hi, I’m King Dawit, an editor, director, and producer with a passion for storytelling across film, TV, and digital formats. I love shaping narratives from concept to screen and collaborating with writers, actors, and crews to bring ambitious ideas to life. Over the years I’ve worked as a co-writer, script supervisor, production coordinator, and interviewer, helping projects move from concept to screen. Recent work includes Coconut Valley (co-writer/producer/actor) and Nostalgice: The Series (director/writer/producer/editor).
