She joined WB in 2008 and rose through the ranks to become executive vp of production overseeing films like 'Judas and the Black Messiah' and 'A Star is Born.'
“Niija’s experience and reputation is stellar, and she brings strength to Netflix through her relationships and creative talents,” said Stuber in a statement. “For some time there has been a significant gap in the market for mid-range films and Niija has a fantastic track record of championing those projects. We’re thrilled that she’ll be leading a new team that will further ensure audiences continue to be entertained by our movies.
Kuykendall is also very active in representation and diversity initiatives. She is on the board of directors of Women in Film, Brown University’s Women Leadership Council, and the Emma Bowen Foundation for Multicultural Interests in Media. She also spearheaded the MACRO x The Black List Feature Screenwriter Incubator, launched by Warners earlier this year, that is to help elevate screenwriters of color.
Stated Kuykendall: “I am so excited by this opportunity to join the excellent team at Netflix and build a new group that will be focused on the mid-sized movie space. I look forward to continuing my work of advocating for and partnering with incredible filmmakers to tell impactful and meaningful stories of all genres.”
