Homayoon Mobaraki is a Swedish writer and director drawn to stories that explore the complexity of human nature. Rather than being defined by a single genre, he develops films that challenge, entertain, and connect with audiences through compelling characters, emotional honesty, and cinematic storytelling.
His work spans psychological thrillers, dramas, documentaries, and commercial productions, united by a commitment to authentic performances, visual precision, and meaningful storytelling. Whether intimate or ambitious in scale, every project begins with the same goal: to tell stories that feel truthful, emotionally resonant, and unforgettable.
His films have taken him beyond Sweden, with productions filmed in Africa and stories shaped by diverse cultures and perspectives. His work has received international recognition, with Unborn Souls earning multiple awards and festival selections.
His latest short film, Remote Farms, is currently under consideration at several international film festivals and has advanced to the next round of judging at the Oxford Film Festival. The project also serves as the proof of concept for a completed feature screenplay and was presented in the Palm Springs International ShortFest Film Market Video Library.
Alongside narrative filmmaking, Homayoon directs documentaries, commercial films, and branded content for companies and organizations. He is currently developing several feature film and television projects and is seeking to collaborate with producers, production companies, financiers, and creative partners who share a passion for ambitious stories with international reach.
Alongside his completed films, Homayoon continues to develop a slate of original feature film projects. Although each story explores a different world and genre, they are united by compelling characters, moral complexity, and emotionally driven storytelling.
