Tina Gharavi is a Sundance and BAFTA-nominated writer/director and showrunner initially trained as a painter in the United States later studying cinema in France. Fearless in her approach to storytelling, and unafraid to cross borders and disciplines, Gharavi is noted for innovative cross-platform work, often about outsiders, rebels and misfits, and has garnered the attention of the film industry through her acclaimed BAFTA-nominated feature, I Am Nasrine. She has worked previously as a high-end TV director working on shows such as The Tunnel (Sky TV). She completed production on her first Netflix series in 2023, a docu-drama about the life of Cleopatra for Jada Pickett-Smith's Westbrook and Nutopia. Gharavi is in development on her own episodic series set in the UK and Iceland as show-runner (with the producers of Fargo) in addition to further feature projects with the BFI and Film Four on subjects as wide as a Virginia Woolf adaptation to a biopic about an Iranian female poet. Gharavi resides in the North of England and Los Angeles. She is represented as a director by Laura Rourke at Independent Talent Agency in the UK and Sean Barclay at Gersh.
