ABOUT

Specializing in editing, Sanaz has edited several short films, documentaries, and music videos, including THE ROTTEN RIFF, MARKS, THE NIGHTINGALE OF PARADISE, and BORN KICKING (Co-Editor).

Sanaz hopes to continue directing documentaries and narrative films that encompass SETAREH SOUP FILMS’ mission - giving people a platform to share their stories. Around the world and amongst the stars, an abundance of stories exist, just waiting to be given the chance to be brought to life. That’s the beautiful thing about filmmaking, in the sense that just a few minutes (or a lot more!) can offer a glimpse into a vast collection of experiences.
