Sand Storm
2024
Short Film
Producer, Cinematographer, Sound Designer
This experimental film, directed and written by Arezou Zahiri, was filmed in Tehran. The story presents an absurd episode from one day in the life of three friends, one of whom is strangely always sweeping the balcony. The film delves into the psychological layers of this character with a poetic tone.
In addition to producing, I was also the cinematographer, and this was my second experience in cinematography. All the shots were taken in a small house, and finding interesting angles was a challenge. Another challenge I faced, for the first time, was lighting design for different times of day, especially given the limited shooting time. Moreover, I was responsible for the sound design, which proved to be difficult due to the quality of the recorded sounds.
