Hello to everyone. Hopefully within the next few months I will be able to share my film with everyone outside of Iran. The film has been released inside Iran back in March this year. Meanwhile just to keep you all moist with anticipation, please enjoy our 1-minute Teaser below:

That looks like exactly my kind of thing! Good luck with this. 

I don't want to derail this thread, but have long wanted to visit Iran, I've travelled the world a bit but never Iran. How much trouble will a very English Englishman like me get into over there?

Thank you for your enthusiasm about my film.  For you my very "English Englishman" I can put a good for you out there....  

Simple answer is that Iranians are very friendly people they go to great length to make sure that guests are treated right and are comfortable. Iran doesn't get a huge amount of tourist so seeing a foreigner is still a novelty here. Treating your guests right is part of our culture, if you read any travel blogger or such I can assure you will read great things about Iranians. Don't pay attention to the politics, Iran is a beautiful country with diverse landscape and friendly people. 

 BUT at the moment, and even before COVID, getting a tourist visa for a British citizen was next to impossible. I think you could have come in as part of a tourist program, which was not cheap. American citizens used to come to Iran under a tourist program, but you couldn't deviate from your tour much.

If you're a dual Iranian-British national, things could be very bad for you....

I am a dual-national; My Dad’s family is from Leicester and my Mum’s from Hull. It hasn’t held me back.

This must mean you spent time on the road to Hull and back.
