Adjahni

Dèsirè

Writer/ Director

Adjahni Dèsirè is Haitian-American Army veteran currently working out of Brooklyn, New York as a Writer/Director & Script Supervisor. After serving honorably in the US Army, Adjahni found herself armed with the oppurtunity to take a stab at what it is she's truly passionate about: storytelling and the visual art of cinema.

Now a recent graduate of CUNY Brooklyn College's film production program, she aims to pen stories that explore the depths of the human condition. What peaks her curiosity are subjects that lay hidden in the dark, housing wisdom and knowledge that must be brought to the light, if one so dares to traverse the wilderness that is our desire's, ego, and traumas.

At the heart of all Adjahni's stories are character's that must learn to ask the hard questions and discover truths about themselves, no matter how painful. For how can one truly evolve without reconciling with their past?
