Peju Aliyu

I’m an award-winning Writer, Producer, and 1st Assistant Director with over a decade of experience crafting stories that demand to be heard. With a track record spanning documentary, narrative production, and web series, I’ve led both intimate and large-scale crews, navigating productions of every size with creative vision and operational precision. My work has earned Bronze Telly Awards for San Carlos Apache Tribe and Breathe: Voices of Healthcare, and has screened at the Palermo International Film Festival, the Ateker International Film Festival, and the Tokyo Women’s Film Festival. I continue to develop projects that center marginalized voices and challenge the stories we take for granted. I’m also a writer and author whose work explores healing, identity, and the human experience. My Substack publication Paiges by Peju chronicles my personal journey with the same unflinching honesty I bring to my filmmaking.

I believe the most powerful stories aren’t just watched. They’re felt.
