@rezakahani
Creative director with 20 years of animation experience.
I'm Reza Kahani, an animation director with over 20 years of creative experience. I hold a Master’s in Culture & Media and a PhD in Culture & Communication. My journey in animation began in 2002 as Art Director at Arianeh Media Company. Since then, I've contributed to a wide range of animated projects across various formats and audiences, showcasing my ability to blend creativity with technical expertise.
In 2020, I started collaborating with Disdoof Media in Doha on cross-cultural and globally oriented productions. My work has included directing and copywriting for various series and short films, such as 'Mim b les' and 'Muhammad Ali: Fists of Fury, Heart of Gold.' My directing approach is shaped by formal training at Bm dad International Cinema School, where I studied under Asghar Farhadi, a two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker. I also have experience teaching animation and motion pictures at the bachelor’s and master’s levels.
