Niloofar Asadi is an Iranian-American filmmaker and visual storyteller with interdisciplinary experience in Film, Photography, Visual Arts, and Theatre—she holds an MFA degree in Film directing from AAU in San Francisco. Asadi's work draws inspiration from her lived experiences and firsthand encounters with existentially challenging subjects such as migration, displacement, and the battle with cancer. In her character-driven stories, she fuses genres, crosses visual mediums, and makes dynamic blends of formalistic and expressive elements to explore themes of identity and representations of the self, eliciting provocation and participatory viewership. Her work creates a space for sharing unspoken and often hidden stories that resonate with viewers' interiorities and act as a mirror to reflect on their own personal and collective experiences to foster mutual dialogues.

Since starting her professional career in 2004, Asadi has worked as a filmmaker and visual storyteller in various artistic settings. Her short films, documentaries, photographs, and visual artworks have been recognized, awarded, and published by international film festivals, magazines, and art organizations.
