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 on digital tapes and editing linearly on old SuperVHS tapes, earning me an unexpected A+ in high school, and igniting my journey in audiovisual storytelling.
After a detour into comedy and acting, I accumulated +20 years of acting experience across 200+ theater and film productions. Keeping a directors eye on every production and developing a vision that encompassed every aspect of storytelling.
Leaving the theatre, where I both acted and directed, I kept coming back to film. Exploring various roles behind the camera – from assistant directing to editing and production management – contributing to my evolution as a filmmaker and refining my artistic voice.
My latest short “Night Games”, reflects a culmination of growth, bringing life to personal visions that once seemed out of reach. As I set sail towards commercial directing, I’m eager to take my next step in nurturing my artistic voice across all narrative formats.
Excited for future collaborations and what we can build together! 💥
