About

 

Safiyah Chiniere Smith is a prolific music video and feature film director with roots in Paterson New Jersey. Smith was  working on"Brotherz" this past summer. A story based in her home town that speaks on violence, low income families and young children growing up with not having a dream of becoming "someone".

Shortly after finishing studies at The Art Institute Of New York City for Fashion Design, Smith's love for Cinematic Film-making began in 2011 by bringing a fresh perspective and edge to the then- stagnant music video scene.

While building a catalog Smith is still on the rise of becoming the best Female Director in the game and her goal is to direct as many Feature Films that touch many meaningful hearts.
