About Niloofar
Niloofar Asadi is a director and writer based in San Francisco. Exploring character-driven stories by evoking a human view of the characters' emotions and motives with the power of visual storytelling lies at the core of her artistic mission. Her work signifies existential themes like remembrance, presence, time, trauma, and death, focusing on the individuals' power and vulnerabilities yet de-emphasizing the social identities they perform.
