Biography

Omar Derby is a Jamaican-American director and writer based in Atlanta, Georgia, known for bridging the gap between commercial viability and deep, character-driven storytelling. A U.S. Army Special Operations Veteran (Civil Affairs) and SCAD MFA Alumnus, Derby brings a rare duality to the industry: the discipline to lead complex productions and the psychological insight to extract award-winning performances - a skill evidenced when his short film Fine Thank You captured a Best Actor win in 2022.

He specializes in high-volume narrative production across traditional cinema, broadcast, and vertical streaming platforms. His portfolio includes national campaigns for major brands like Bevel, and early broadcast success when his short Anna v Anna was acquired for national broadcast on Magic Johnson's Aspire TV. In the vertical streaming space, Derby recently wrapped directing a highly anticipated premium crime-drama series for a major network. Prior to this, he directed the viral hit How to Snatch a Billionaire for DramaBox, garnering over 34 million views during the platform's acceptance into the Disney Accelerator program. He also wrote and directed the thriller The Wedding Game, acclaimed by critics as "bold, fresh, and surprisingly deep" and praised for maximizing the vertical format for tension and scares.

Derby’s traditional narrative work continues to establish him as a filmmaker to look out for. During his 2026 festival run, his suspense thriller The Good One captured "Best Dark Drama" at the Georgia Shorts Film Festival, while his character-driven MMA drama Keep On Truckin' earned an Official Selection at the prestigious Pan African Film Festival (PAFF). Derby accomplished a rare feat by having both films secure highly coveted Official Selections at the Oscar-qualifying 2026 BronzeLens Film Festival, with Keep On Truckin' also screening at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival (AUFF).
