A chance opportunity leads to a filmmaking career and answers the question “Could I do it better?”
Shahab Zargari is many things… filmmaker, educator, music producer, marketing director, photographer and father… and he seems to do them all with a quiet intensity and attention to the details of craftsmanship. What ties them all together is telling stories… which we do here together for 90 minutes and change. How do you press an album with two dozen bands, win awards with a minimal budget campaign for a neglected property, make a better version of a classic story than a major studio and inspire a bunch of teenagers to excellence? Shahab answers all those questions and more. Oh, and Alex talks a lot too, as usual!
