As a film editor, he specializes in experimenting with narrative structures in both fiction and documentary films. Notable works include "The Third Wave" (2009), a compelling film that challenges audience expectations and offers a fresh perspective on people's relationship with their past, and "I am Nasser Hejazi" (2015), a documentary that presents a nuanced view of the intersections of sports, politics, and culture. He has also edited reality TV shows such as "Bulletproof" (2018) and "Commander 5" (2020) using non-linear narrative structures to create tension and urgency. His latest work, "That man did not open the door any more" (2021), is a gripping documentary that explores trauma and loss through a fragmented storyline. Overall, his films push the boundaries of storytelling and engage audiences in new and exciting ways.
