About SANGHA FILMS and ILIKENIRVANA:
Sangha Films was formed in 2008 by filmmakers Pirooz Kalayeh and Thomas Henwood. Their breakout film launched last year with THE HUMAN WAR – a feature length narrative set in 2003 that chronicles a day in the life of an Ohio teen that has to reassess his life after the declaration of the Iraq War.
DIRECTOR
Pirooz M. Kalayeh is a writer, painter, musician, and filmmaker based out of Long Beach, CA. Since filming his first feature, Pirooz has gone on to document the life of BRAD WARNER - a controversial Zen master who has sought to strip away the sheen off many taboo topics in Zen Buddhism and exhibit a healthy dose of reality to his readers. In 2009, Kalayeh produced and co-directed THE HUMAN WAR into a full-length feature with Sangha Films. He has also served as an Associate Producer and Post Production Coordinator with Weller Grossman Productions. Some of the programs he has worked on include STRICTYLY SEX WITH DR DREW (DISC), CRAFTLAB (DIY), and LOOK WHAT I DID (HGTV). He lives with his wife in Los Angeles and South Korea. He interviews various entertainers and artists on his blog, Shikow.
PRODUCER
Mark Parsia is a filmmaker/actor based out of Brooklyn, NY. He has starred in numerous NYU student films and has made appearances in several indie features including BIG DREAMS IN LITTLE HOPE and BONO. Parsia has produced such short films as THE PIZZA BOY, STATIC, BURP and was a co-Producer with Sangha Films for THE HUMAN WAR.
