Fallen, but still moving.
This is a spec ad for Le Fleur Converse shoes, created as an experiment in AI generative media. The campaign leans into imperfection. Real flaws.The concept came to me with the character, Siavash. His design rejects artificial perfection: natural skin texture, vitiligo at the hairline, corrective glasses, a taped nose, visible bruises and scratches. He looks stylishly imperfect.After making character and product plates, I started with the video. A minimal story emerged. Siavash is in a mid–move apartment; in a state of transition and instability. We move from a close-up of his bruised face to an insert of a skateboard. A focused product shot shows Le Fleur Converse on a cardboard box. The space opens into an establishing shot of a half-packed house. The final beat: Siavash walking fast, jumping onto the skateboard—Converse shoes in focus. The video closes on a simple copy line: "Fallen, but still moving." The video is currently in progress and will be released soon.
Commercial Film for INFICON
In this project, I collaborate with INFICON and Bialetti, respectively, Swiss manufacturer of industrial instruments, and Italian brand of coffee cookware.I was tasked to create a video showing a successful leak test of Bialetti coffee products using INFICON's Contura S400. Along with demonstrating the test, I also included a visual story in the opening to serve as a hook. The video was produced using green screen technology.
Commercial Film for INFICON
In this project, I made a product video for INFICON's newly announced leak detector device, ELT Vmax. I tried to conform to the corporate identity and make the complex test easy to follow with a steady rhythm.

About me
Born in Tehran, Iran, in 1997, I’ve come to see myself as a creative spirit—drawn to projects at the intersection of art and communication.Since graduating from the IFS Film School Cologne in the summer of 2024 with a master's degree in Digital Narratives, I have been working as a Project Coordinator at Cologne Conference GmbH.I'm driven by work that brings audiovisual aesthetics and storytelling to life. While my main expertise is in film and video, I have also explored immersive formats, photography, and motion graphics.At home, I’m a lifelong cinephile, often lost on Bandcamp exploring indie music, grounded in yoga, and lately adding a bit of Karate to the mix.

Spinner
A promotional video I created for an awareness campaign in collaboration with the digital agency, Salesera.Here, I played with the visual idea of 'spin'—linking pottery and DJing, two art forms where you’re constantly spinning a disc.
Follow Me, i'm not leaving this house
I made this video in solidarity with the 2026 Iranian uprising. The concept emerged from the reality that many demonstrators are chased by security forces. I envisioned a cinematic chase that concludes with a static shot of a confident woman, paired with the line: “Follow me. I’m not leaving this house.”
