What is your main goal of filmmaking in Iran?

Filmmaking in Iran! I think I have no choice but to make films - I was born because of the bad incident.

How concerned is the subject of the movie and why did you choose this one?

In my opinion, the topic of the film is all about the discourse and interactions of society and people, but the topic is looked at from another point of view that may not be seen much (although I am not interested in explaining the film).

Finding actors and casts is a difficult task, especially for special films - sometimes you have to be lucky, otherwise the rate of making mistakes is high and it usually happens in short films.

Most of the problems are financial - the conditions of film making in Iran also have their own problems
