About Asghar

With over 15 years of experience in narrative, documentary, and docudrama filmmaking, I am a seasoned professional specializing in directing, screenwriting, editing, and cinematography. My portfolio boasts over 100 projects, many of which have garnered prestigious awards from festivals such as the Tehran Short Film Festival, Clapperboard Golden, Berlin Kurdish Film Festival, and Fajr Film Festival.
Holding a Master’s degree in Psychology, I bring a unique perspective to storytelling and directing, creating films that resonate deeply with audiences. My expertise in psychodrama, as detailed in my authored book, seamlessly blends psychology and the arts, enhancing the emotional impact of my work.
From a young age, I have been passionate about filmmaking. This lifelong dedication drives my eagerness to collaborate on international projects. My extensive experience working with diverse ethnic groups in the Middle East equips me with a rich cultural perspective that I believe can significantly enrich the global film industry.

Unique traits: Experienced in Working with Diverse Ethnicities and Geographies, Eager for Intercultural and International Partnerships.
