About
There are a lot of my initial writings that when I look at them, I think to myself, why can all these scattered manuscripts that started in the second decade of my life and continue to this day can somehow be categorized in the same category ?! A sense of regret, complaints of an oppressed human being, deprived of human axioms and spirituality, who innocently as children, see the source of destruction in a spooky way and only feel it.
I was born in the eighties and Michael Jackson shows and non-digital media like Barco lamp TV from Belgium and nostalgic cartoons of that time from Eastern Europe and Japan or recording momentary memories on TDK cassette tape and Walkman and Zenith negative camera ... I can still feel the orange color of those TV tubes with the special smell of its back or the smell left of the negative celluloid on the camera door, or the Japanese and American cars of that period and of course the eight years of war at the beginning of my life ... all these have formed the foundations of my life Build.
When I was admitted to the University of Art and Architecture with great interest in theater at the age of 20, the only useful part was socializing with my artistic friends and redouble my interest in reading books, especially old ones that were like a mystery, and experience watching classic Hollywood and European art films, with a small circle of my friends in a small cinema in the bookstores center in Tehran, and seeing theater in the city theater hall... all of these made my interest and seriousness in writing and creating more and more... in that four-year period, I wrote several short and long plays and a short screenplay about the life of a painter in only one crypt and his sad death, which was inspired by my cousin's life that was never made! I wrote poetry and I was full of love, madness, hatred, and Spirituality ...
After the end of my college age and due to financial poverty, I had to draw a red line around all the works of art for almost a decade, which artwork for many was synonymous with lack of money and poverty ... I changed the focus of discovering world around me to analogue photography. as well as writing other excerpts and a complete manuscript of my first feature film over the years, I gradually prepared and read and wrote a short screenplay about religious tensions between Zoroastrians and Christians, which eventually turned into my first short film in 2019. Named "Cold Ashes"
A year of dramaturgy and a lot of financial and production difficulties. My first attempt at making a work failed in some parts, a heavy project, without a broadcaster or distributors and overthrowing the red monster of Corona virus followed by the closure and restriction of the acceptance of festivals, as well as the historical theme that was limiting in general... but a valuable experience and even more motivation to make my next work.
By the end of 2022 and at the beginning of 2023, after five months of post production, I made my next short film, called "Departing" with a lot of hope and looking forward ...
