Record label owner. Filmmaker. Photographer. Communications guru for the UNLV College of Fine Arts. Shahab Zargari wears more hats than almost anyone else in Las Vegas’ creative community.
His films have screened at San Diego’s ComicCon and won awards at other festivals. His recent project with the UNLV Shoah Survivors Project won best documentary-short in the London Indie Short Festival last year.
At the same time, he has a record label called Geykido Comet Records. For 24 years, it’s highlighted local and international bands.
And this month, it’s doing something different. Zargari has produced a compilation album in honor of another local arts advocate, with part of the sales going to The Trevor Project, which addresses suicide in the LGBTQ community.
