Adebisi Peters, The Filmmaker Changing Lives Via Creative, Social Stories

As a young child growing up in Lagos, Adebisi Peters saw how everyday disappointments obscured many people’s ambitions and resolved to alter people’s perspectives on life.

Now a multi-talented filmmaker with a wide range of cinematic skills, he is passionate about telling social and corporate stories to inspire people.

In 2021, after his recovery from depression, Adebisi posted “My Story,” a social documentary on mental health that addressed failure, intimidation, and despair, on his YouTube channel, The Kreativo.

He interviewed Twyse Ereme, Michael Sanni (MC Lively), Kie Kie, Edem Victor, and Adebayo Ridwan (IsbaeU) during the first season of the self-financed “Failure isn’t Final” of My Story. Link to his interviews below:

He is the Director of Photography for “For the Love of Dance,” an Amazon Prime Video dance documentary.
