I Prefer To Stay In My Country.

I Like Storytelling, And For Storytelling You Need A Drama. And For There To Be Drama, You Need Twists, And By Twists I Mean The Ability To Constantly Change The Trajectory Of The Story.

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

Iranian Filmmakers Are Not Passive. They Fight Whenever They Can, As Creative Expression Means A Lot To Them. The Restrictions And Censorship In Iran Are A Bit Like The British Weather: One Day It's Sunny, The Next Day It's Raining. You Just Have To Hope You Walk Out Into The Sunshine.
