Two months ago, the worlds youngest presidential interviewer [who has met and interviewed 19 world leaders] - Zuriel Oduwole turned 14. Her story has fascinated many around the world since her first documentary film at the age of 9 on the Ghana Revolution, when she met and interviewed Presidents Jerry Rawlings & John Kufuor. Having been featured on every global media house, including BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg TV, CNN and CCTV and profiled on major global magazines such as ELLE Canada, Forbes Africa and DESTINY Magazine, it is her film making ability that has caught Hollywood's attention.

Her first film that showed in Genesis Deluxe Cinema and Film House Cinema in November 2012 made her the youngest person in the world to show their self produced work in a commercial cinema, before it screened in Ghana, South Africa, the United kingdom, and Tokyo - Japan.

Born in Los Angeles to a Nigerian father and Mauritian mother, she has now been described as the most powerful teen producer in Hollywood. Recently, she was hired by Procter & Gamble to produce a short documentary as part of their successful #LikeAGirl campaign. A few months later, she directed a TV commercial for GAP USA as part of their back to school campaign, in partnership with Ellen DeGeneres ED clothing line. She is changing the perception of teens and young producers, in Hollywood.
