Meet The Team
Adi Jahić — Writer/Director
Adi Jahić, the son of Bosnian refugees, is a filmmaker based in Philadelphia and Los Angeles known for ‘Things We Like’ and ‘Words That Can’t Be Unsaid and Things That Can’t Be Undone’.

Thus, he strives to reflect this learning in his art and to express the intricacies of the world in a thoughtful, dedicated manner.
