Available to hire
I am an experimental filmmaker and performer pursuing a PhD in Digital Media, specializing in AI-driven film editing tools. I have directed and produced award-winning documentaries screened at Oscar-qualified festivals and co-created grant-funded performances, collaborating with Iranian, Portuguese, and Iraqi/British artists to explore East-West cultural dialogues.
My work blends movement, video editing, music, and calligraphy to push cultural narratives and immersive experiences. I lead creative development across projects from conception to installation, often working across theatre, film, and gallery contexts.
