"Vahid Hojjatinikoo - Screenwriter & Director My films are like shattered mirrors: they reflect reality while exposing its hidden wounds. From 'A Coach...' to my paintings, I chase those human moments lost in history's shadows."
A Ph.D. in Communication Sciences with 12 years of teaching experience in media psychology and history, I am a multidisciplinary artist—filmmaker, screenwriter, poet, and painter—driven by the intersection of human narratives, identity, and societal shadows. My work excavates the psychological depths of characters trapped between cultural expectations and personal rebellion, as seen in my feature script "A Coach...", a social drama exploring manipulation, justice, and the toxic mentorship of disillusioned youth.
Key Strengths:
Research-Infused Storytelling: I dissect 1+ academic film book weekly and screen 2-3 films to ground my narratives in authenticity and innovation.
Cross-Disciplinary Artistry: Merging cinema, poetry, and painting to create layered visual metaphors (e.g., clay busts in "A Coach..." symbolizing fractured identities).
Social Drama Focus: Themes of systemic failure, generational trauma, and the search for redemption recur in my screenplays.
Notable Work:
Authored feature scripts with psychological-historical lenses, such as "A Coach..." (Winter 2025), a gritty exploration of coerced crime and paternal voids.
Curated exhibitions on "Marginalized Humanity in Urban Landscapes" through abstract painting.
Lectured on "Character Psychology in Cinema" and "Visual History as Narrative."
Artist Statement:
"Cinema, to me, is a cracked mirror—it must reflect reality while exposing its hidden wounds. I seek those fleeting human moments lost in history’s margins, where choices collide with fate."
In Development:
New projects interrogating nonlinear storytelling and collective trauma’s impact on identity.
