You Were Born To Create
We are born as creative, daring creatures. All of us. We possess all the natural gifts that we tend to assume are the province of only a talented few.
This can be easily seen when we are young. For example, as a kid did you ever prance around the house with a broomstick pretending it was a horse, or did you ever invent little characters, soldiers, dolls, puppets? Now, these things that you created - did you speak to them and did they respond?
On March 14th 2010, at the Farhang Foundation’s Nowruz celebration and award ceremony, WIMV-NY accepted the award for first prize and delivered the following speech:
The 20th Celebration of Iranian Cinema kicked off this weekend in Los Angeles, featuring a collection of established and emerging talents from Iran. The goal of this greatly received show-case is, and has been, to present a diverse portrait of Iran's variety of cultural communities, leading customs and expressions as well as ethnic minorities' way of living.
