Roudi Boroumand (Co-Producer)

Roudi Boroumand is an Iranian-American indie filmmaker, film educator and film studies writer/translator. She began her career as a photographer fresh out of the Iranian Youth Cinema Society and soon became an arts and entertainment journalist. Due to the imprisonment of the journalists and the shutting down of the papers that were the voice of opposition against the dictatorship of the Islamic regime, she left Iran and has continued freelancing journalistic and independent creative work in the U.S. since 2002.

A graduate of Portland State University and the Northwest Film Center in Portland, she received her film degrees from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, where she teaches various film courses. Boroumand has made award-winning short films, co-produced a student feature (Death to False Hipsters), and has another feature called Riot in Bloom in post-production as a screenwriter and casting director.
