“Kia’s work as a producer on the pilot “Swallow” was first-rate. She’s organized and focused, and will always go the extra mile to get the job done. She’s easy-going, good-humored and fun to be around. In a world of deadlines and high pressure, she is a calm and steady hand on the wheel.”
     • Dan Greenberger – Emmy & WGA Award-Winning On-Air Promotion Writer/Producer, CBS Television (“How I Met Your Mother”)

“Kia Kiso is the ultimate professional while creatively approaching any task in front of her. I have had the pleasure of working with Kia on multiple events for the PGA. And she did an amazing job moderating our panel for the Produced By Conference. Her energy is infectious.”
     • Megan Mascena Gaspar – Producers Guild of America Treasurer; Freelance Post Producer (“New Girl”, “Speechless”, “Jag”)

“I have had the pleasure of witnessing Kia’s growth as a producer and organizer. I’m excited to see her next venture and have absolute faith in her.”
     • Rikki Hughes – Emmy & Multi-Grammy Award-Winning Producer (Dave Chappelle’s “Equanimity” & “The Bird Revelation”)

“Kia is a good producer, but she’d be a GREAT producer if she’d just let me go for a sunset swim in the ocean while on location in Hawaii. But, seriously, there are many attributes Kia has brought to each and every job on which we’ve collaborated, but the trait I appreciate most is her desire to be the best and create the best end product. It reassures me that she has my back from beginning to end.”
     • Ric Serena – Director (“The Twilight Zone with Jordan Peele” promo, “Mile… Mile & a Half”)

“I have had the pleasure of working with Kia and watching her amazing creativity and infectious spirit in action. She is an extremely gifted filmmaker and talent, she creates a wonderful environment for others to allow their talent to flourish and she is and will continue to be a force in the industry. I anxiously await her next projects.”
     • Lincoln Bandlow – Lawyer, The Law Offices of Lincoln Bandlow, P.C. (“The Bling Ring”, “Morgan Spurlock Inside Man”)

“Kia Kiso is a fearless producer. She is open to taking on big idea concepts, running with them and then turning those ideas into reality. She’s not afraid to play in the dirt, getting her hands dirty with the many nuances of production but compliments this by effortlessly navigating above the line thinking like a CEO with the business aspects of a production.”
     • Mike Dion – Producer/Director (“Inspired to Ride”, “Ride the Divide”)

“Kia Kiso is the kind of producer you dream of having on your project. She’s extraordinarily organized, thinks through every detail, is prepared for the expected—and the unexpected—and is tenacious in her pursuit of great work. But more importantly, she’s a warm and committed collaborator. Kia’s calm and assured presence on a production gives you and your team the confidence that “everything is going to be alright” in a business that’s filled with moments of stress and anxiety. She brings the rare combination of expertise, enthusiasm and approachability that elevates every single production.”
     • Aaron S. Dotson – Principal, Creative Director ELEVATION Advertising

“I’ve been working with Kia over the last nine years, whether it was on VFX on a big budget feature, lower budget music videos, graphic design, or visual development work. She has always been as steady as a rock, pushing for a higher bar, and her extensive knowledge of each step of the production pipeline gives her a natural strength to rely on when delivering feedback and direction. Her enthusiasm for the work comes through, no detail is left behind. I sincerely hope that we will continue to collaborate and work together again.”
     • Chris Grun – Animation Head of Locations – Feature Division & Digimatte Supervisor, Dreamworks (“Hunger Games”, “Boss Baby”)

“Kia is the consummate professional. She seamlessly blends her creativity, compassion, and outside-the-box thinking with a profound grasp of structure and organization. Working with her is a pleasure because I trust her to not only come up with an unexpected, great idea, but to also execute that idea on time and within budget. Kia is an excellent collaborator and talented leader: she is open to all ideas, and has an instinct for letting a conversation drift to an unexpected but important discovery, and then gently rein it in to keep to a schedule without hindering the overall creative process. I’ve seen her do this many times, and have always been impressed. Kia is an integral component in every room, and is eager to shine the spotlight on others. I give her my highest recommendation and trust her implicitly.”
     • Michael Lipoma – Writer/Producer, Partner BelLipoma Entertainment

“On ‘RIPD’, our team was in a constant state of emergency, and though we were thrown a new curve ball every day, Kia kept her departments organized and on course. Kia has a strength of character that is rare in entertainment. She is honest, and brave, and not afraid to trade verbal punches with bullies. When she and I had conflict she was a skilled negotiator and was able to quickly separate the necessary facts from emotion and here-say. I learned from her wisdom and am a better person and stronger leader for knowing her. She is of the highest personal and professional caliber. She is what more people should be.”
     • Johnny Gibson – VFX Supervisor, Pixomondo (“The Mandolorian”, “X-Men: Days of Future Past”)

“It is easy to recognize the high quality of dedication, work and professionalism that Kia brings to her endeavors. I have known Kia for almost 10 years and I have witnessed a constant passion and diligence in her work. We have done many jobs together. Her production expertise is invaluable, and her contributions are magnified by her positive attitude and caring nature. It is obvious that these qualities are ingrained in her, and part of what she brings to every job.”
     • Pepper Humphrey – Executive Producer/Producer (Beyonce “Lemonade”, Spotify, Polo/Ralph Lauren, NIKE, Microsoft, Dell)

“I have had the pleasure to partner with Kia at the PGA as she designed and launched the initiative Social Impact Entertainment Task Force. Her vision and passion for quality, meaningful projects is the core of who she is. Along side her extensive skillset as an on-set producer, she is the embodiment of a leader of teams. She is exactly who you want in the creative room and spearheading on set.”
