Hi! 👋🏻 I'm a Swedish-half-Iranian film director with a 20-year background as an actor, producer, and teacher in film & theatre. An imaginative storyteller with a knack for story, tone and heightened performance.
Based in Stockholm, Sweden
.
Work-in-progress:
I remember shooting my first short in high school – on mini-DV tapes and editing linearly on my old SuperVHS deck. A lot of my early aesthetics came from the golden age of American movies and the Amiga and Nintendo days of my youth, with a genuine love for the unique, colourful, and delightfully subversive.
From class clown to later getting into acting, I've clocked in over 200 theatre and film productions. With a career that has taken me from Stockholm, New York, London and back again. I've always viewed things from a director's lens, blending storytelling with my love for performance.
Later I started teaching acting, with side-gigs as an editor, production manager, and director. Bagging me some shiny acting and film awards, while making the rounds at top festivals worldwide, along the way.
My selection of work reflect a culmination of growth, bringing to life imaginative tales of story, tone and performance. As I set sail towards commercial directing, I’m eager to take that next step in nurturing my artistic voice across all formats.
Let’s create something remarkable togehter! 🔥
