Hey there!


I鈥檓 a Swedish-half-Iranian film director based in Stockholm, Sweden, with over 20 years of experience in acting, producing, and teaching, both in film and theatre.


From my early years as an actor in +200 productions in Stockholm, London, and New York, I've since experienced working as a theatre director, production manager, acting teacher and video editor, always seeing the world through a director's lens.


Drawing inspiration from the American movies of the 70-90's, electronic music, and the vibrant world of the Amiga games of my youth, my portfolio reflects a journey of personal growth, both in storytelling, tone, and performance.


My work has been showcased at Palm Springs ShortFest, Aesthetica Film Festival and Gothenburg Film Festival, featured on Directors Notes, Omeleto, Film Shortage, earning awards and recognition at top festivals worldwide.


Let鈥檚 collaborate and create magic together!
