MOSES EDINBOROUGH is an American film Director, Producer, and Screenwriter who is so much more than these illustrious titles. MOSES is also an EMMY and Cable Ace Award Nominated Producer and Director. A triple-threat creative executive and visionary with commercials and productions for NIKE, HBO, SONY, iTunes, Disney/Buena Vista, and Comedy Central to name a few. His career spans executive positions with some of the biggest entertainment networks and corporations including SHOWTIME, NFL Network, FOX, and FOX SPORTS.

MOSES was born on the beautiful island of St. Thomas, the gateway isle of the U.S. Virgin Islands. On the night of his birth his mother watched the classic Cecil B. DeMille’s movie, “The Ten Commandments,” thus the impetus for his name “Moses” and his creative power. A hometown sports hero in his youth, MOSES’ prowess on the gridiron earned him a football scholarship to Hampton University where he also laid the Hampton Pirates to a CIAA Championship while earning his bachelor’s degree in Film & Journalism.

After graduating college MOSES headed to New York City to begin his career. Though he had applied for a job at MTV, he had received no response from the Network. A serendipitous moment occurred for MOSES when a friend took him out for drinks at a local bar. At that bar, a drinking challenge ensued, and MOSES jumped in. Unbeknownst to any of the other participants were MTV stalwarts, Peter Daugherty, and Ted Demme, (the early architects of MTV’s Hip-Hop influence). As MOSES threw back drinks with Peter, the last man standing, Lo and behold if the night did not end with an invitation for MOSES to Come by the office…The next day, MOSES went by that office and to his surprise it was at MTV. The chance meeting ended with him being offered a job working with Daugherty and Demme and the creation of the ground-breaking show, “Yo! MTV RAPS”. If that were not enough, MOSES is also the visionary creative producer behind such seminal TV shows as, “Unplugged” and the Creator of “Fade to Black” also known as, “MTV Jams” and yet – all of that is just for starters. MOSES would go on to executive produce and direct the launch campaign for “USHER’S ONE NIGHT ONE STAR” Concert for SHOWTIME – and Interscope Presents – “The Next Episode,” the critically acclaimed, six-part, docu-series, spin-off from the hit motion picture “8 MILE.” A rare look into the world of battle-rap MC’s.

A successful tenure in New York culminated with MOSES working with big networks and big shows and numerous big stars – Names likes WILL SMITH, MARK WAHLBERG, BEN STILLER, DIDDY, QUEEN LATIFAH, COLIN QUINN, TUPAC, JENNIFER LOPEZ, LL COOL J, and more, much more – But none of this could keep MOSES in the big apple and so his growth took him out west where he made Los Angeles his new home.

His first stop would be as VP/Sr. Creative Director at FOX SPORTS where he took on the responsibility of managing marketing budgets of $55M and $48M respectively, while renewing the FOX SPORTS brand. His assignment included creating promo commercials for MLB (Major League Baseball), an NBA Returns, NASCAR ads and Live Action Director on commercial spots for both KOBE BRYANT and SHAQUILLE O’NEAL amongst other duties. The FOX assignment led to SHOWTIME where he helped re-brand the premium cable channel, all while being named Best Director – Short Form two years running at the NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL. MOSES also received several PROMAX BDA AWARD for outstanding achievement in entertainment marketing and design. The accolades led to an offer to direct a childhood favorite, the iconic PBS staple, SESAME STREET. An honor which MOSES enjoyed for four seasons.

In short, EDINBOROUGH is the exact type of multi-faceted Content Creator and Executive that attracts the attention of Studios, Corporations, Artists, Actors and other Creatives to work with them. This award- winning director and 360-creative-executivehas both artistic and management levers that make him a rare jewel to be put on display. And when you add the powerful and exciting motion picture properties that MOSES currently has under development for production with TradeWind Pictures – He’s destined to become one of Hollywood’s biggest power players. From the remarkable tour-de-force of, MADAME QUEEN, to the twisted heist of the Federal Reserve in, PAPER, and the ultimate price for the thrill of love in STEALING VANYA. MOSES EDINBOROUGH is on a mission that reaches for the Stars but rises to the celestial heights of the Heavens. MOSES resides in Los Angeles, California and loves the sunny weather.
