Rouzbeh Heydari
Ontario
Born in Iran and raised in Canada, Rouzbeh Heydari is an award-winning director, producer, writer, and editor with over a decade of experience crafting bold, cinematic stories.
Rouzbeh’s debut feature film, Together Again, was filmed entirely in Iran. It saw tremendous box office success within the country before being banned by the Iranian regime—marking the beginning of his fearless and unflinching approach to storytelling.
In 2024, Rouzbeh was selected for the prestigious Warner Brothers Discovery x Canadian Academy Directors Program. His third feature film, A Hundred Lies—starring Rob Raco (Riverdale), Humberly González (Ginny & Georgia), and Brandon McKnight (The Flash)—received a theatrical release in Canada and is now streaming on TUBI.
In 2023, he directed episodes of Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life (Discovery+), and in 2022, his psychological thriller Neon Lights, starring Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy), was released by Entertainment One and is now available on Netflix in both Canada and the U.S.
At the heart of Rouzbeh’s work is a quiet obsession with the spaces between truth and perception—stories shaped by exile, resilience, and memory. Whether navigating censorship in Iran or chasing ghosts through North American suburbs, his films carry the weight of lived experience. Each frame is a conversation between where he’s from and where he’s going—a search for meaning in the chaos, and beauty in the cracks.
