Njué Kevin (born 19 February 1992)[1] is a Kenyan film director, producer and screenwriter. He is best known for writing and directing the film 18 Hours[2] which won the Best Overall Movie in Africa, AMVCA 2018.[3] This category had never seen a Kenyan film be nominated, and so marked history as the first Kenyan film to be nominated and win in the history of the awards.[4]

Njue became the first Kenyan filmmaker to be listed on the Forbes Africa under 30 list 2019 (Creatives).[5]
