ABOUT SARVENAZ MIANJI
Growing up in Tehran, Iran's capital, I dreamed of moving to Canada. In 2008, after years of working, I reached my dream and moved to Toronto. This is where I began to study film rigorously. During high school, I experimented in making short films. My passion began to grow when I was able to freely turn my ideas into films.
In 2012, I began my film studies at Humber College, and in 2016 I earned my degree in Bachelor of Applied Arts in Film and Media Production. I have worked on several short films and music videos during my studies at Humber College. I am currently pursuing my dreams to be a writer/director.
