I’ve always been fascinated by Persia. A.k.a. Iran. The history is rich, the people are intelligent, and (like many countries) the government is reprehensible. That, my friends, makes for one great story.

In fact, it’s made for many great stories. I researched and wrote an action-thriller script - Conflict of Interest. The story has received a lot of praise. Unfortunately, the region isn’t the most popular spot in Hollywood right now. Very sad for them.

While I was researching the script, however, I discovered an amazing book, We are Iran: The Persian Blogs. If you think you know everything about Iranians, this book will change your mind. This is an opportunity to hear a people’s words, thoughts, and wishes… from their fingertips.

 Then I pitched the idea for a video essay to the highly-acclaimed Digital Design department at the Vancouver Film School. They accepted… and four incredibly talented students turned my Iranian Blogs script into a visual masterpiece.

In fact, it was selected to be on the impressive motionographer.com. Their work brought tears to my eyes. I hope you enjoy it, too.
