About

I’m Khari X (a.k.a. Khari R. Telesford), a screenwriter, playwright, and storyteller out of NYC with a thing for sharp dialogue, emotional landmines, and stories that bleed truth. The kind that don’t ask for your attention. They demand it. My Writing style? --- Unfiltered. Sharp. Emotional. Visceral. Think psychological thrillers with teeth, dark comedies that laugh while bleeding, and crime stories that know how to pray and pull a trigger in the same breath. I write stories that hit hard, cut deep, and refuse to be ignored --- inspired by the rhythm, rebellion, and brilliance of Black and Brown poets, writers, and artists who bent language into liberation. That’s the legacy I write from—and the one I aim to expand.
