Biography

Ngozi graduated as a director from the esteemed National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, United Kingdom. Her initial foray into the world of filmmaking, a short film titled "Coffee Coloured Children", garnered widespread acclaim and secured top honors at the BBC Showreel competition. This early success was merely the beginning of a long string of accolades and achievements that would follow in the years to come.

As her career continued to flourish, Ngozi went on to create a multitude of dramas and documentaries for various UK and international broadcasters, including the groundbreaking series "South Of The Border" for the BBC. Her impressive portfolio of work earned her the distinguished honor of a special retrospective screening at the prestigious New York Film Festival, where her film "The Body Beautiful" was showcased alongside some of the UK's most commercially successful short films.

Ngozi's feature film debut, "Welcome II The Terrordome", was met with widespread critical acclaim and secured a trifecta of top prizes at the Birmingham International Film Festival, the Cologne Film Festival, and the Verona Film Festival, with the added distinction of winning the audience prize at the latter. In addition to her feature film work, Ngozi has also directed an episode of the top-rated UK drama series "Heartbeat" for ITV, a program boasting an impressive audience of over 18 million viewers.
