She continues with Wallman Public Relations for publicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evans is known for her calm leadership, clear vision, and passion for directing TV and film stories that are compelling, provoking, and have heart. She is one of a handful of African-American women actively working as a multi-cam director in scripted television, while also directing single-cam projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her directing credits span some of television&#8217;s most-watched series, including <em>Family Reunion<\/em>, which earned NAACP Image Award and Emmy nominations, <em>iCarly<\/em> for Paramount+, <em>How I Met Your Father<\/em> for Hulu, and <em>The Neighborhood<\/em> for CBS. In 2022, she was nominated for a Children &amp; Family Emmy for directing the hit Disney series <em>Raven&#8217;s Home<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most recently, she directed the Season 21 <em>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy<\/em> episode &#8220;Love in the Ice Age,&#8221; which aired April 10, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal follows Buchwald&#8217;s active expansion of its literary and film\/TV division. The agency has recently grown its roster with signings like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/princeton-perez-signs-with-buchwald-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Princeton Perez<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/agustina-palma-signs-with-buchwald-for-us-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agustina Palma<\/a>. Under its new leadership structure, Buchwald is actively investing in talent and literary representation as it looks to expand its global footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond directing, Evans is the founder of MOJO Academy and CEO of MOJO Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morenike Joela Evans isn&#8217;t just a working director, she&#8217;s a movement. With over 20 years in the industry, a Children &amp; Family Emmy nomination, credits on some of TV&#8217;s biggest shows, and a school training the next generation of directors, signing with Buchwald&#8217;s Film\/TV Literary department signals that she&#8217;s positioning herself for the next level, think original IP, pilots, and producing deals that go beyond episodic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buchwald has been on a clear mission to bolster its literary and film\/TV bench, and Evans fits the profile of exactly the kind of multi-hyphenate, culturally influential creator the agency is doubling down on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Buchwald&#8217;s literary division gaining momentum, could Evans be developing original projects (a pilot, series, or film) that this signing is designed to set up? As one of very few African-American women working as an active multi-cam director in scripted TV, what does her move to Buchwald signal about where opportunities for directors of color are heading?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buchwald has signed Emmy-nominated director, writer, and creative producer Morenike Joela Evans for Film\/TV Literary representation.
