More About Me:
I was born in the middle of Tehran on a cold autumn morning! A couple of years later my parents moved to Britain permanently and I was raised there until I moved to America alone for pursuing my filmmaking interests. I got a full scholarship to Ringling College of Art + Design - A private 1500 student accredited arts university in Florida - and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. In between my studies, during summer and winter breaks, I produced many personal projects, one of which was an independent film called No Real Than You Are for which we raised $20,000 in two rounds on Kickstarter. This movie raised awareness about the OxyContin epidemic and portrait a real-life story.
After graduation, I moved to San Francisco and worked at video and marketing capacities with companies such as Evernote, Future Partners, The Video Project, San Francisco Film Institute and more. During my time in SF, I focused on raising environmental awareness by working with The Video Project - one of the oldest documentary film distributors with thousands of informing films.
I then moved back to London in order to be with my family and since have been heavily involved with Social Media and Cryptocurrency. I currently have marketing clients plus do daily social media videos for a TV station.
Future Goals:
Over the next couple of years, I’ll be focusing on learning and investing in distributed ledger technologies, Social Media, health, wealth and my relationships. I’ll continue to hit my fitness goals, read more books (I love books if you haven’t already figured!) and continue to make this world a better place. Check out my videos on Steemit and other social channels.
The Secret:
I guided a blind man accidentally into a ‘lady’s public shower’ when I was 7 years old! Once the man was inside all I could hear was loud screams! I ran back home as fast as I could.
I hope this intro has been entertaining and insightful.
All the best to my fellow Steemians. More exciting posts to come!
