ABOUT Jaff

Jaff Joseph

Jaff Joseph ยท Filmmaker ยท 2026

on set
Brooklyn born.
Story driven.
Future showrunner. ๐Ÿ“บ

Pronounced "Jah-ff Tah-e-na" โ€” a filmmaker, writer, and multidimensional creator rooted in Brooklyn.

A Posse Scholar and Film & Media Studies graduate of Franklin & Marshall College (Class of 2026), I direct with purpose โ€” documentary and narrative shorts, music videos, brand films, podcasts. Always in service of the story.

My work spans social justice, community, and culture. I've collaborated with Emmy Award-winning journalists, nonprofits, and creative organizations across New York and Pennsylvania.

Outside of film: fashion styling, painting, poetry, dance, music. Every dimension of myself goes into the work.
