About me

I am a Film Director/Editor/VFX Compositor with more than twenty years professional experience in film industry.

 

I started my career as a film editor back in Iran in 2001. I became a member of Iranian Film Editor Society and worked in Iranian cinema for 10 years. During those years, as a filmmaker, I made three short films and nine music videos and as a film editor, I have been involved in twelve feature films, eight TV series, and dozens of trailers and advertisements.

 

When I moved to Canada in 2010, I switched my career from film editing to Visual Effects. Since then, as a VFX Compositor I have been involved in films such as Blade Runner 2049(Oscar winner for the best visual effects), His Dark Material (BAFTTA winner for the best visual effects), Marvel’s Loki, Guardians of the Galaxy, Army of the Dead, Dumbo, Mowgli, Mary Puppins, Wonder Woman, Pirates of the Caribbean, …

 

Aside from working on films, I’m passionate about photography and painting which you can find the links below.
