Ifeanyi Ezieme is a DGA Award–winning filmmaker and George Lucas Scholar, holding an MFA from the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
His directorial vision has been experienced by major brands and organizations including ColorCreative, McDonald’s, and Varo Banking, with a reputation that has led to collaborations with public figures like Issa Rae and many others. While his commercial and branded work spans a wide range of high-profile partners, Ifeanyi’s creative heart remains firmly rooted in narrative filmmaking. His films have earned multiple “Best Short Film” wins & nominations and have been showcased at numerous Academy Award–qualifying festivals, including INDY Shorts, ABFF, LA Shorts, and the Pan African Film Festival.

Ifeanyi’s filmmaking is driven by a singular mission: to bridge the gap between people who are seemingly unalike. A guiding principle that has carried him through his career since first picking up a camera at the age of 10.
