I Feel Its Important To Talk About

I Feel It’s Important To Talk About The Complex Issues Affecting Us. And These Are Complex Issues. I Think It’s Insulting To An Audience To Make Them Sit And Watch A Film And Then Give Them A Message In One Sentence.

The Fact That I Do Place Music At The End Of My Films Is Not To Accentuate The Emotion. It Serves An Opposite Purpose Which Is To Remove Them From The Emotional Space And Allow Them To Enter A Space Of Thinking, Because I Believe That When The Audience Is Watching The Film They're Watching It With Their Feelings.

Working With Children Is Very Different Than The Way In Which I Work With Adults. I Never Tell The Children The Actual Truth Of The Thing That I Want Them To Act. Although Children Are Really Into Play And Play Acting, And This Is A Major Part Of Their Existence, They Never Actually Find The Playing Or Acting Of Adults Credible.

It's Very Difficult To Talk About Religion In Iran Because Religion Has Gotten So Mixed Up With Politics.

One Of The Biggest Blessings In My Life Is That I Have A Very Wonderful Family, A Lovely Wife And Two Lovely Daughters.
