About Omid Mohadjeri
Film, for me, started in front and not behind the lens, way back then … at my birth … thanks dad.
From my first day on he was filming every step and bite I’d take, for our family archive.
I think another great influence on my creative genes goes even further back to my grandfather mothers side who was a theatre director and actor in Kerman, Iran, readapting ancient Persian myths and bringing them on the modern stage.
Taking it from there, as a young boy I discovered my interest for music and started exploring the world of sounds, at first with a wooden spoon on a pot, later through all kinds of instruments - to this day having collected and practiced 12 or so, including Persian Santur, Piano, Triple Flute, Handpan and more.
My passion for sound had led me to starting my first band as a teenager and the production of the first music video for this band was my encounter and opening to the world of visual arts.
10 years of film and photography in 20 different countries around the globe later, today, I am continuing to deepen my relationship with the queen of arts by exploring all her different moods and faces, slowly but steadily mastering my craft.
About AZ TU
AZ TU · Persian, meaning 'From In · From Within · Inside Out' .
In a surrounding in which we are constantly being projected with superficial and fast changing stimuli,
it is the intention of AZ TU to create visual art which holds some calmness, peace and ease in it.
This type of film can only be created when the creator enters such space him- or herself.
One can not rush through life, being stressed and create a calm and meaningful experience from that space.
It is the the approach of AZ TU to slow down, maybe stop completely for a moment, to reveal, define and transmit the essential - expressing it through the lens of film.
For you and us to enjoy.
