Majiye Uchibeke

Majiye Uchibeke is a Nigerian film director and producer based in Los Angeles, CA. He holds a degree in Communication from St. Andrews University and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television Production at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Majiye's work explores race relations, societal inequalities and other provocative social issues. In 2018, he helped his brother found NaijaHacks, Africa's biggest technology hackathon geared towards building solutions for healthcare, agriculture and business development in Africa. In 2015 he came to the states for undergraduate studies on a government scholarship. One of the most defining moments of his life was losing his mother to a stroke two weeks after he moved to the states. He has since pushed and continued to pursue filmmaking and follow the steps of filmmakers like Spike Lee and Ryan Coogler, all who he described as gatekeepers making important films about our common existence, from the lens of the marginalized black community.
