Chimereogo Nwoke

Chimereogo Nwoke is a Nigerian filmmaker, writer, director and visual storyteller based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Originally from Imo State, Nigeria, and raised in Nsukka, Enugu State, his passion for storytelling began at an early age, influenced by literature, cinema and a childhood surrounded by stories.

His journey into filmmaking began with photography, videography and editing before evolving into documentary and narrative filmmaking. His work explores human emotions, identity, relationships and the complexities of everyday life, often drawing inspiration from personal experiences and the communities around him.

He wrote and directed his debut narrative short film, Waiting for My Sister (2026), which was officially selected for the 15th Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF). The film explores childhood, morality, memory and the fragile boundaries between reality and imagination.

Beyond narrative filmmaking, Chimereogo has directed and produced documentary projects exploring community, culture and identity, including Voices of Torry and Honouring Our Communities, a documentary commissioned for Aberdeen’s Black History Month celebrations.

In 2026, he was nominated for Creative Person of the Year at the Black Scottish Awards.

With a growing interest in emotionally driven cinema, Chimereogo continues to develop stories that challenge perspectives, explore the human condition and connect audiences across cultures.
