Director Temeko Richardson grew up in New York but used her higher education in different urban cities to propel a consulting career with clients all over the world. After securing a project in Southern California, she studied filmmaking and writing at New York Film Academy. However she most often writes in tranquil settings of East Hampton, Edgartown and Manhattan Beach.
Always about making a difference to help others, she started her own original podcasts, The Sports Life and Business As Usual. With many experiences to tell in short films, her ultimate goal is to direct a feature film under her own production company and create episodic television shows from selected short films that provide valuable lessons to others.
The goal is to entertain yet provide the truths of life experiences that will help others along their journey. After all, the best lessons are those learned through other people's failures.
