Sontenish Myers


Sontenish Myers is an award winning writer-director based in Harlem, NY and a thesis student at NYU's Grad Film program. In her work, racial identity, womanhood, power dynamics, and the heroic journey are often explored, and Sontenish intends to do so across genres.

Her on-screen writing/directorial debut, Cracked, garnered awards and laurels around the country, while her first feature script, Never Been Born has been a finalist in multiple competitions and won her a CineStory Fellowship. Thus far, Pie has played in four different countries, won three audience awards, and a nod from the Rhode Island International Film Festival for Best Editing. Adria also owns and operates four restaurants in Los Angeles with her husband and partner, Claudio Blotta. Her ambition is to create more stories for and about women and to foster opportunities for a diverse point of view in theater, film and television.
