Director Statement

As a filmmaker the hardest part of quarantine is not making films! I think about my group in a small place and how much it can be risky so I just stay at home. Doing nothing except writing scripts made me bored.
Lots of idea and scripts but no films!?
I should do something and finally I made a short film " The Mask" with a small group with masks.
My uncle helped us as a doctor to keep the place safe and my colleagues had to work double without assistants to let the place be devoid of people and as unpopulated as possible.
Now after three months hard-working " The Mask" is ready.
" The Mask" is a part of daily routine in Iranian's family in the time of coronavirus.
I'm happy that I can done something about this situation as a filmmaker.
