About me

I have been working as a film maker for the past 15 years after graduating as a director from the I.R.I.B University in my native Tehran. My first short film, translated as 'Parallel Lines', was awarded 'Best Film' at the 2005 Iranian Short Film Festival.

After working on numerous productions, from documentaries to commercials, private commissions to short films, I returned to university to do my Masters in film production, graduating in 2008.

As a freelance director and producer I have made over twenty commercials, short films and documentaries for Iranian TV, with many more credits to my name as an assistant in one field or another.

In 2013, owing to the political climate in my country, I was forced to leave Iran and relocated to the UK. After two years I am finally able to work in the UK, and am keen to make some inroads in the film industry and happy to work at all levels to gain the connections and experience I lack over here, and improve my English!
