ONYISHI UCHENNA is a Nigerian director, writer, creative director and founder of FORTHOGHT LTD. — a motion pictures production company. Operations are currently divided between Nigeria, China, and the UK.
Having lived in Beijing for 9 years, he is fluent in written and spoken Igbo, English, and Mandarin. His career in visual storytelling began with poetry and photography, where both his written and print works have gone on to hold solo exhibitions.

He has been featured on YOHO Magazine and South China Morning Post Goldthread as a spotlighted rising director. A meticulous storyteller, his work is characterised by editorial aesthetics anchored in narrative.
Uche is currently working on the screenplay to his first feature to be filmed in 2024. God willing.
