Biography
Desiree Akhavan is an American filmmaker, writer, and actress who emerged as a distinctive voice in independent cinema. She wrote, directed, and starred in her 2014 feature debut Appropriate Behavior, a project that announced her ability to mine humour and heartbreak from personal experience. Four years later, she directed The Miseducation of Cameron Post in 2018, shifting to a broader teen-focused narrative while maintaining her eye for queer identity and social friction. As both screenwriter and actor, Akhavan navigates multiple roles within her own productions—a rarity that reflects her hands-on auteur sensibility. Born December 27, 1984, in the United States, she brings a Capricorn's precision and dark wit to storytelling. Her life-path number 7 aligns with her introspective creative practice—the seeker, the analyst, the artist who digs beneath surface emotion. Akhavan's occupation spans screenwriting, directing, and acting, disciplines she has integrated into a unified creative voice.
