David Alamouti
Producer/Writer/Director

David's previous productions include a documentary about an immigrant choir for the BBC and a feature length documentary on Iranian Cinema. In 2010, he produced the 'Citizen's Project" (www.citizens-project.com), which was one of the first 'webdocs' to be produced. Using only the Internet to source, produce and distribute, the Citizen's Project bought together nineteen filmmakers from around the world to make short form portrait documentaries about the city they live in. 

This year he has finished a feature length documentary about the jazz virtuoso, Gilad Atzmon; and has just completed a short fiction film called 'Mother', which is being submitted to international festivals. He is also producing  the feature documentary 'Too Young The Hero', about Iranian youth wrestlers and their quest to become world olympic champions.

Golriz Kolahi
Producer/Writer/Director

As well as directing and producing many short films and documentaries, Golriz has a passion for social and political issues. She has extensive knowledge of the geopolitics of the Middle East; has worked with multiple NGOs and anti sanction campaigns including the Poverty Knowledge Center trying to tackle poverty in the Middle East by empowering women and children.

Trained as a professional painter at a young age, she gained both her BA and MA in fine arts from Central Saint Martins School of Art. As a video artist, she has presented her video installations in various international galleries in cities such as Berlin, London, Istanbul and Tehran.

Coming from a fine arts background, she intertwines politics with an appealing visual style, which is clearly demonstrated in her latest documentary "Gilad's and all that Jazz"; a close-up and personal look into the controversial life and political views of Britain's most famous Saxophonist.

Her portfolio includes a documentary looking at Iranian society's hopes for democracy around the time when the Nobel Peace was awarded to Shirin Ebadi, the first ever Iranian and Muslim woman to have received the prize. The documentary, called "Toddler on the Path to Democracy", has in-depth interviews with the noble peace prize laureate herself and other important figures of Iran's civil society movement. 

Golriz is now producing a documentary about the lives of youth wrestlers in Iran.
