I started my journey in Iran with radio narrating and voice acting on the national radio. Later, I started working in a TV station for two years, where I was helping producers shape the stories they wanted to tell.

I was also interested in acting, and after lots of auditions, I got a role in a kids’ TV show called The Magic World, where I acted as a giraffe. Being on the film set and watching the producers, directors, and film crew got me really interested in learning more about filmmaking. 
 

Then, I made a documentary about my nomadic family called Spring Fairy. I applied to film schools in the UK and got accepted by Norwich University of the Arts. They also awarded me the Vice Chancellor’s Global Undergraduate Award, worth £15,000.
 

After three months of being in the UK, I got invited to a networking event where I met someone who really liked my documentary. He said he was willing to screen it for free in Cinema City in Norwich.

One of the people met was the chair of Elm Hill Friends, an institution managing Elm Hill Street in Norwich. He really liked my style and offered me a project making a series of short films about shopkeepers in Elm Hill, to build an emotional connection between the street and the people.
 

I started the project — I directed it, produced it, filmed it, and edited it with one camera and a very simple microphone. During filming, people from the Eastern Daily Press got interested and wrote about the project. After that, BBC Radio Norfolk also became interested, and they interviewed us about it. When the project was finished, we screened it in a local cafe in Norwich, as a bridge between a historical place and a modern space. Again, BBC Radio Norfolk aired one of the episodes and followed up on what happened.

​

Right now, I'm developing my first short film, and I expect it to be completed and start its festival journey in May 2026.
