Jeremiah is a British-Nigerian writer-director drawn to bold, human stories that don’t shy away from complexity. His work sits at the intersection of faith, grief, love, and identity, often exploring difficult subjects with warmth and softness, and with a deliberate use of genre to deepen the storytelling.

Across his films and theatre work, Jeremiah is particularly interested in challenging the limits placed on how Black characters are portrayed. He believes people are inherently layered, and his storytelling reflects that. His work consistently pushes against one-dimensional narratives, making space for nuance and emotional honesty.

His short films, including Pepper Soup, Missed, and The Truth About Space, focus on intimate relationships and the unspoken dynamics within families. At its core, his work aims to help people process, connect, and feel seen.

This approach continues in The Truth About Space, which won Best UK Short at Manchester Film Festival 2026. The film expands his voice further, blending grounded emotional storytelling with a subtle sense of imagination. Influenced by filmmakers like Hayao Miyazaki, he is drawn to stories that can hold weight while still feeling vibrant, accessible, and full of wonder.

Alongside his screen work, Jeremiah has built a strong presence in theatre and television, from his debut play This Is Not a Drill to directing and co-writing new stage work, and contributing as a writer on the BBC Series, Phoenix Rise. Regardless of the medium, his focus remains the same: to tell stories that feel honest, necessary, and reflective of the full spectrum of human experience.

Jeremiah’s work is driven by a simple principle: avoid the expected, resist repetition, and create stories that are as complex and alive as the people they represent.
