Tiesha “Ty” Adams is a storyteller with the pursuit of sharing her ideas, experience, and perspective through film. Falling in love with DPing & directing, she has built herself up from the ground, learning the trade from working on multiple Spike Lee sets, such as the 2017 reboot, She’s Gotta Have It as well as his documentary, NYC EPICENTERS 9/11<2021 1/2.
Having recently DPed inclusive projects for brands such as Jordan, Meta, & Ray Bans, Ty continues to strive towards having not only her voice heard, but other black voices around the world.
Since she was very young, creating stories was the only way to truly be herself. During her childhood, being a little black girl ALWAYS felt like a burden beyond the walls of her home. Her mother would always tell her how beautiful her skin was, but it felt like a lie every time she stepped outside. Between being bullied in school and relatives showing an obvious animosity for her, she became voiceless.
Creative writing became her voice throughout her early school years, being anything she ever wanted in this world of what seemed like the impossible. That skilled passion for writing became the backbone of her filmmaking journey since then.
Trying to develop her own film style and meaning, her stories that once avoided character race or description, now took on a responsibility to reflect moments in the lives of people who resembles her and she’s more than ready to break through those glass ceilings. Period.
Ty obtained an undergraduate degree in Theatre at the University of Vermont in 2014.
