Dr Kingsley Marshall

Head of Film & Television

Dr Kingsley Marshall is Head of the CILECT and ScreenSkills accredited School of Film and Television, based within Falmouth University, UK. The department consists of over 40 staff working with over 700 undergraduate students across four degrees (BA Animation, BA Film, BA Post Production and Visual Effects, BA Television and Film Production), supplemented by a postgraduate community studying from MA level through to PhD, delivered online and on campus. He is an external examiner for the MA International Creative Enterprise at Edge Hill University, the online BA and MA filmmaking courses at Raindance Film School (DMU), and the on-campus filmmaking courses at Edinburgh Napier University.

As the RKE lead for Screen Practice: Research and the Development Lead and a Producer in the Sound/Image Cinema Lab, a research and film production centre at Falmouth University, Kingsley is involved in short and feature film production with partners including Bosena, Film4, BFI, o-region, Early Day Films, BBC Films, and Storm Force Films. He was executive producer on the feature films "Wilderness" (Director: Justin John Doherty) and "The Tape" (Director: Martha Tilston), both released in 2021, "Long Way Back" (Director: Brett Harvey) released in cinemas in 2022, and "Enys Men" (Director: Mark Jenkin), which premiered in Cannes and was released in 2023 through the BFI in the UK and Neon in the US. He is an associate producer on the feature documentary Atlas Pool (Dir. Jane Darke and Andrew Tebbs).

With his own company Myskatonic, Kingsley produced "Backwoods" (Director: Ryan Mackfall), included in the BluRay release of definitive horror documentary "Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror" (Dir. Kier-La Janisse) and completed production of "The Birdwatcher" (Director: Ryan Mackfall) in 2024, in addition to line producing music videos for Amon Amarth in 2022 and Bruce Dickinson in 2023. He has a number of feature film projects and a TV documentary series in development. As a composer, he has worked with director Mark Jenkin ("Bait", "Enys Men"), writing the score for "Hard, Cracked the Wind" (2019), with Rachael Jones on "Dean Quarry" (2021), and with Paul Mulraney on the documentaries "From the Culch" (2023) and the forthcoming "Redfish".

Kingsley co-edited "Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror", published by Bloomsbury, and is a specialist in film and television production, film and television music, and the use and representation of technology on screen. He has published work on filmmakers David Lynch, Denis Villeneuve, Nia DaCosta, Anna Biller, George A. Romero, Robert Zemeckis, Lisa Joy, Jonah Nolan, and Kathryn Bigelow, and speaks regularly at international conferences, including events at University of Oxford, New York University, and as an invited speaker for Screenskills, Birmingham University and the School of Advanced Studies, University of London. Forthcoming are a chapter on film music for a new collection on George A. Romero, and two pieces on ecosophical filmmaking and climate change in an edited collection for Peter Lang Publishing.

Kingsley is currently working as the principal investigator at Falmouth University, alongside filmmakers Dr Rachael Jones and Scott Barley, for the Innovate UK £1.04m funded R&D project Charismatic, partnered with CharismaAI, UAL's Creative Computing Institute, Channel 4, and Aardman, exploring the use of AI in the creative industries.
