Director Biography - Zardosht Afshari

I was born in Behbahan, Iran in 1982. At a young age, I was drawn to the world of cinema and theatre. In 2011 after graduation with a MA in Dramatic Literature from University of Tehran/ faculty of fine Art, I started writing as a screenwriter and playwright for several student projects.
My early works included both short stories and filmscripts, were the mainstay and passion of my recent work.So finally my love of filmmaking brought me to the process of making my own first short film “A day with my mother”.
