Yazmeen Mirgoli is a director, producer, and multi-disciplinary performance and visual artist currently residing in Los Angeles. Since 2013, her work has been featured globally in film, editorials, print media, advertising, and live events and has amassed over one million views on her YouTube channel YAZ X MUSIC.

In 2018, Yazmeen graduated with honors from UCLA, earning a major in Communications, and a minor in Film, TV, and Digital Media with a concentration in directing from the university's renowned School of Theater, Film, and Television.

In 2019, she launched her production company Yaz Media and began her work in the realm of social impact entertainment, most notably through collaborations with artist and Oscar history-maker Kelly Mantle, and through her work with Library of Congress archived platform WERRRK.com.

March of 2022 saw the release of her directorial debut, "Heresy", the music video for the second single off of her debut album, Inferno. Self-directed and produced, "Heresy" is a rallying cry against the demonization of empowered female sexuality, that reimagines the story of Lilith and Eve in the Garden of Eden through the lens of female autonomy and agency.

In April 2024, Yazmeen released her debut short film, Abduction. Inspired by her real-life experiences, the film reimagines the myth of Persephone through the lens of bondage, BDSM, and forced submission on a societal level.

Abduction intertwines the mythology of Persephone’s journey of self-actualization from the archetypal innocent maiden to the queen of Hades with Mirgoli’s own experience being unlawfully institutionalized to explore the themes of the loss of innocence, individuation, resurrection, and rebirth.

Abduction was released globally on April 12, 2024, on Yazmeen's official YouTube Channel to critical acclaim, and will be screening at film festivals globally throughout the 2024-2025 film festival season.
