Shahin (Sean) Solimon, born Shahin Solimonpoor. Naturally creative as a child, Solimon was brought to the states (Tampa, FL) at an early age and raised by an adopted American family. His American father (George) a very intelligent family man who was also a well-respected professor at USFL in the field of film/television/chemistry taught him a great deal, not just in the arts but also about Western culture, hard work, life, etc. Upon seeing Star Wars - A New Hope in theaters as a youngster at a suburban shopping mall in Tampa, he decided there and then that he must make movies.

Eventually, his biological mother (a well known Persian pop star: Fataneh) was able to finally migrate to the US and leave the Iran revolution of 1978 and reunite with her son. The family eventually moved to Hollywood, California where he eventually became involved with the performing arts as his career.

Having this unique experience and view of the world only brought Shahin closer in realizing his dreams as a creator, writer, director and actor. He eventually wrote, performed in, and produced several projects, and is actively developing new material.
