MAHAN ASHTARI
TORONTO,ON
Summary
I graduated from Toronto Film School in April 2022 with a degree in Film Production and am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in creative arts at Yorkville University, having recently graduated. Passionate about filmmaking, I've held various roles, showcasing discipline, patience, and a collaborative spirit.
Known for effective time management and quick learning, I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Since January 2023, I've been a sub-contractor with Canada Film Equipment, gaining valuable industry insights.
Eager to contribute my skills, I blend academic excellence with practical experience, ready for new opportunities in the filmmaking realm.
