I am an adventurous documentary filmmaker from the ancient country of Iran that travel to see different cultures.
I am Nima Hassan Beigi from Iran (First name: Nima, Last name: Hassan Beigi). I am a film and theatre director, and a full-time writer. I have been writing since 2001, and filmmaking since 2006. I like to write about love, peace, war, psychology, mythology, history, and thousands of years of culture of Iran and the Orient. I believe that culture has no borders and is a factor in the bond between peoples and nations. I believe that the way to save the world from war and destruction is through friendship and reconciliation, and by recognizing and introducing different cultures, we can reconcile nations. My wife and I live in ancient city of Qazvin. My wife (Saba Kazemi) is painter, Persian literature researcher, and English translator.
