My name is Ashkan Memarian and I’m a commercial director, writer and filmmaker. Son of two immigrants from opposite sides of the world, I was born and raised in the suburbs of Southern California. I grew up playing sports, being good at math, skateboarding, and banging on drums in my brother’s band. In college I stumbled into a film class and poof! Now I’m here.

I love telling visual stories in short form — whether the budget is big or small. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great brands including: Apple, Walmart, AT&T, Verizon, American Express, Amazon, The Salvation Army, ESPN, Sony, Comcast, Delta and more.

I believe in empathy and collaboration. I believe we can make good work while also being good people. And I believe that all pizza is good pizza.
