Uche Odoh

I am Uche Odoh, a director and photographer with an unwavering passion for bringing stories to life through the lens. My journey embarked upon an unconventional path, initially rooted in Agronomy and a past career in modeling. However, the allure of storytelling proved too compelling to ignore.

In 2011, a scholarship from DelYork Creative Academy became the catalyst for my exploration into the world of creativity. Vancouver Film School beckoned in 2015, where I earned an Associate degree in Film Production. My quest for knowledge reached its pinnacle in 2023 with the attainment of a Master of Arts in Film & TV Production from the distinguished MetFilm School.

The year 2019 marked a significant milestone with the release of my directorial debut, “LIFE AS IT IS,” a web series that garnered acclaim with over a million views on YouTube and a nomination for Best TV Series at the 2020 AMVCA’s.  In 2021, I ventured into the realm of feature films with “HELL RIDE,” a project that has since graced over five film festivals. Notably, it clinched the awards for Best Picture at Zuma Film Festival Abuja 2021 and Best First Feature at Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival Canada.

Subsequently, my directorial prowess extends to crafting compelling commercials for global brands such as GUINNESS, MTN, KUDA, AMSTEL MALTA, and music videos featuring top Afrobeats artists.

Beyond directing, my lens has captured the essence of renowned personalities, contributing to album covers and magazine features for artists including Timaya, YCee, Bella Shmurda, Terri, and more.

Known for versatility in storytelling, my works span comedy, drama, and entertainment, consistently offering a distinctive and unique feel. Honored as a Director to watch out for, my approach involves a dynamic mix of strong casting, character-driven storytelling, and the creation of immersive worlds.

In addition to my creative pursuits, I oversee Eastside Productions, collaborating with brands to effectively communicate their narratives. I am also the co-founder of Gosi Media, a burgeoning media startup, and Propa Studios, an independent film venture.

Join me in this journey where each frame is a canvas, and every story a masterpiece.
