I'm Peroshat Saeidi, the social media manager at Higher Low Films.

Currently, I'm pursuing a bachelors in neuroscience with a minor in Theater, media, and digital production, which has opened my eyes to the wonders of both scientific exploration and creative expression. While my studies in neuroscience have been captivating, I've always felt drawn to embrace the richness of life beyond the boundaries of a single field. This insatiable curiosity has driven me to venture into various realms, seeking opportunities to learn and grow beyond just what lies in front of me.

As I embark on this journey with Higher Low Films, I wholeheartedly embrace the opportunity to absorb knowledge and expertise, envisioning a future where the harmonious blend of science and art empowers individuals through captivating storytelling. My dream is to eventually become a director and journalist, uniting the shared human experience with individual narratives that resonate deeply within and beyond my community. Through my work, I aspire to offer people a glimpse of the world through my eyes and together, we can paint vivid and impactful narratives, inspiring others to share their stories and embrace the unity that lies within our beautifully diverse human experience.

I am Samir Golshan, an Iranian-American cinematographer and producer based in Los Angeles.

Growing up in Iran, I initially pursued engineering until I turned 20 years old and decided to leave my country. I became a refugee and lived in Turkey before ultimately moving to the United States. It was through my immigration journey and interactions with people from diverse backgrounds going through similar experiences that I realized how similar yet different people's stories can be. This sparked a passion for storytelling, particularly for those who are often unheard.

After settling in the US, I studied filmmaking to fulfill my passion for storytelling and discovered my talent in helping people bring their stories to life through visual media. I found myself most useful on production sets where I could collaborate with other artists to tell a story. I worked my way up from different departments on set to learn and absorb as much as I could.

As a cinematographer and producer, I am constantly on the lookout for new stories and ways to visually bring them to life. I believe that telling these stories can make a difference in people's lives, and it is this belief that fuels my passion for filmmaking.

Embarking on my journey to the United States at the age of 26, my story is one of determination and growth. I have cultivated a unique path with a rich background, including skills as a culinary artist, as well as embracing the world of film production during my time at Orange Coast College. Drawing from my bachelor’s degree in material science, I weave my diverse experiences into captivating stories, sharing my talents and passions while entertaining and inspiring my community. Doubling as a digital creator on Instagram, I craft content that blends humor and motivation. My journey is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and creativity, and I continue to illuminate the path forward with my unique blend of skills and storytelling on Instagram and beyond.

Growing up in the vibrant coastal city of San Diego, I found myself immersed in diverse cultures and surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. This unique upbringing, coupled with my studies in writing, business, and environmental sciences, has deeply shaped my worldview and granted me a distinct perspective that I now infuse into the realm of content creation.

My holistic approach extends across all stages of content development – from the spark of ideation to the meticulous details of production and post-production. Drawing from my expertise in content development, visual aesthetics, and collaborative communication, I ensure that each project is steeped in authenticity and imbued with a touch of magic.

Beyond my creative prowess, I hold a profound appreciation for sustainable practices and embrace the importance of fostering meaningful client relationships. In Los Angeles, a city known for its innovation and creativity, we have a unique opportunity to set an example for sustainable practices within the entertainment and production industries.

Our vision extends beyond our local community, to create a positive ripple effect that spreads worldwide, inspiring a global movement towards sustainable and ethical production practices. As a team, our focus is on crafting a brand that genuinely connects with our audience, embracing their values and fostering a sense of purpose that goes beyond traditional consumer experiences.

At Higher Low Films, we're not just telling stories; we're crafting narratives that make a difference. We invite you to be part of our journey as we leave a lasting impact, not just on the entertainment industry, but on the world we all share.
