ColorCreative Signs Filmmaking Duo Raha Amirfazli & Alireza Ghasemi

EXCLUSIVE: ColorCreative, the management and production company founded by Issa Rae and Deniese Davis, has signed filmmaker duo Raha Amirfazli and Alireza Ghasemi to its roster. 

The Iranian filmmakers made their feature debut with In the Land of Brothers at Sundance in January. The film was in competition in the World Cinema Dramatic section, where it won the Directing Award. Raha is still a student at NYU, while Alireza is based in Paris.

In the Land of Brothers follows an Afghan refugee family and their trek to find shelter in Iran. The film recently was nabbed by September Film in Benelux, with Alpha Violet handling world sales.

“I was delighted to see the incredible response to In The Land of Brothers at Sundance,” said ColorCreative manager and producer Chervine Naamani. “With their stunning feature debut, Raha and Alireza have established themselves as formidable storytellers whose contributions will greatly enrich the film landscape. ColorCreative is proud to provide a home for such rich and propulsive immigrant narratives.”
