Biography

I was born on 07 march of 1991. I have been interested in cinema since I was a child. I studied at the Film Conservatory, Then I graduated from Azad University with a bachelor's degree in film directing in 2012. I have been working as an assistant writer since 2007 and I have appeared in ten films as a writer. I have decided to make a short film independently since 2012. I have told stories about MS illness, butterfly disease, illegal immigration, and Iran's political problems in my short films. And at 2022, I made my first feature film called "Sparrow". A film about an Iranian lesbian couple, their family problems, their secret life, and the Islamic government's approach to them. FILMOGRAPHY: Short films: Classic 2012 (30 min) Vivaldi 2017 (30 min) The Path (12 min)
