Director Statement

As a filmmaker, my work is deeply rooted in my passion for literature, poetry, and culture. With a background in English Literature from Tehran and Media Studies from the University of Exeter, I have always sought to explore the stories that unite us as humans, transcending cultural boundaries and revealing our shared experiences. My films are an exploration of the interconnectedness of humanity, where the beauty of diverse cultural expressions reflects the oneness that binds us all. Through my documentaries, I aim to bring these themes to life, creating spaces for reflection, connection, and a deeper understanding of the world around us.
