As a 6 year old child, Toofun's family fled Iran. Seeking a life far from the shadows of political unrest and war. For years they journeyed through European refugee camps and were smuggled into foreign lands. Amidst the turmoil, he found solace and inspiration in the realms of theater, cinema, and literature, where he could for a moment forget the hardships of his childhood and instead become the hero of his own journey. The magical worlds found in pages of books and scenes from movies ignited in him a profound passion for the arts, and so he became a writer, eventually even garnering an accolade as a quarter-finalist in the Oscars Nicholl Fellowship in 2022, with his script 'Asylum'. He's now a father of three boys, and spends his days writing up new stories alongside his writer wife.
