Zahir Rashed is a talented screenwriter and filmmaker originally from Afghanistan and currently residing in San Francisco. From a young age, he demonstrated a profound curiosity about the world and a keen interest in people and their life experiences. Zahir has always been an astute observer of life, with a deep passion for sharing stories through the medium of visuals and words.

In his youth, Zahir often expressed his belief to friends, stating, "If I take a pen and write about the first person I see on the street in any city of Afghanistan, or if I take a camera and walk on any street in any part of Afghanistan, I will be able to make a compelling story worth telling, sharing, and showing." This vivid imagination has remained a driving force throughout his life.

Zahir's journey in the world of media and storytelling began as he joined a media organization as an editor and content manager for "Afghanistan Today Magazine," a widely read publication in Afghanistan. During his time with the magazine, he discovered that his intuition was correct; there were indeed captivating stories waiting to be told. To tell these stories at a professional level, he recognized the need for professional training.

With this aspiration in mind, Zahir embarked on a new chapter of his life in the United States, where he pursued studies in the art of screenwriting and storytelling. Since then, he has successfully launched his career as a creative scriptwriter, driven by his unwavering passion for storytelling and a strong belief in the power of narrative to connect and inspire.
