Shahriar “Shah” Rahman was raised in a mountain town in Saudi Arabia where he had little access to movies or TV. A son of two doctors, he moved to the US at age 15 to pursue medical studies. In college, however, he discovered the NYC indie movie scene and became hooked. Upon film school graduation, he was one of ten promising filmmakers selected for the Independent Feature Project’s Project Involve mentorship program. This unique background now drives his cinematic approach to Glamour and Fashion storytelling.
An experienced editor by his mid-twenties, Shah was promoted to Chief of Production at a 24-hour news and entertainment network in NYC. At STV, Shah was responsible for all content produced and had 28 full-time employees under his guidance. Shah directed over 100 episodes of programming, commercials, and promotional content in less than three years at the network—a level of industrial-scale execution he now brings to high-stakes Automotive campaigns.
Shah served as a VFX artist or supervisor, colorist, or finishing/beauty artist on 40 music videos featuring Eminem, Brittany Spears, Avicii, 21 Pilots, The Roots, Panic at the Disco, Sean Paul and Carrie Underwood. Fast Company magazine lauded his designs for Fitz and The Tantrum’s “Out of My League” as a glowing work of glitch art. Bruno Mars and The Weeknd employed Shah to design their concert video projections, perfecting the premium aesthetic required for Luxury and Beauty brands.
