Working with Myskatonic Films, Kingsley produced "Backwoods" (Director: Ryan Mackfall, 2019) with Neil Fox (included in the BluRay release of Woodlands Dark & Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (Dir. Kier-La Janisse, 2021), and has developed Ryan's next project "The Birdwatcher" and an untitled feature film project. As a composer Kingsley worked with director Mark Jenkin ("Bait", 2019), writing the score for "Hard, Cracked the Wind" (2019), and with Rachael Jones on "Dean Quarry" (2021).

Kingsley's research focuses on cultures of production, the representation of asymmetrical conflict and the ethics of artificial intelligence. He has published widely and speaks regularly at international conferences, including events at University of Oxford, New York University, and as an invited speaker to the School of Advanced Studies, University of London. Recent work includes a chapter on the composer/director working relationship in film for "A Critical Companion to Robert Zemeckis (Lexington Books, 2020), a piece on Lynchian storytelling with Rupert Loydell published in "Listen to the Sounds: Music and Sound Design in Twin Peaks" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). Kingsley co-edited with James Rocha "Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror", published by Bloomsbury in January 2022, contributing a chapter on the representation of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
