Director Biography - Amirhossein Amini

Amirhossein Amini is an Iranian filmmaker who defines independent cinema through self-reliance. In 2018 he founded Wishland Studio in Tehran with the belief that a limited budget should never limit the scope of a story. Amini is a proponent of "total filmmaking," often handling many technical roles-from cinematography to VFX-to maintain a singular, uncompromised vision. Private Restroom is his feature directorial debut.

Director Statement

"With Private Restroom, I wanted to strip cinema down to its most voyeuristic element: the unblinking eye. A technical feat unlike any other, the film is constructed almost entirely as a single, continuous 70-minute take, shot from a fixed top-down perspective.

By locking the camera in a 'God's Eye' position and refusing to cut, I force the audience into the uncomfortable role of a surveillance camera—and a silent accomplice. There is no editing to save the characters, and no close-ups to forge a bond with them; yet, the distance only magnifies their vulnerability. We are forced to watch the crime unfold in real-time, trapped in the room with them. This format wasn't just a challenge; it was a narrative necessity to build an unbearable, slow-burn suspense that spirals toward a devastating conclusion."
