Maryam Farahzadi

Filmmaker & Visual Artist

About

I'm a Los Angeles based Filmmaker and Visual Artist currently working as a Motion Graphic Designer and Video Editor at the marketing department of SprintRay Inc.

If I’m not too busy loving on PomPom, my little Pomeranian, I’m probably doodling cute little characters like him. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see my work.

I am thrilled to have won a few international awards for a short animated film I created, called "The Role of Each Fret". It was a special project for me as it was my first time writing, directing and animating a film by myself. A few years later in 2017, "Blue" was created, another short animation of mine that has garnered some international recognition. This is all a testament that stories shared from the heart, will resonate with people anywhere.
