Writer–director passionate about crafting films centred around time and the human psyche.
I'm drawn to characters and situations that are complicated, layered, and often a bit tragic. At the heart of every project is an exploration of psychology, expressed through varied genres and tonalities, grounded in a visually driven and emotionally honest approach.
Born in Tehran, Iran. Currently based in Western Sydney.
