Hi, I’m Abbas, a global film distributor and founder of https://Souzian.com, where we help bring Iranian documentary films to international audiences. I travel a lot for festivals and film markets, but what I love most is meeting people, hearing their stories, and sharing my own along the way. I started my journey with a camera and a deep love for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve worked in photography, video production, and digital marketing, from editing documentaries to selling them to platforms and TV networks. I enjoy deep conversations, random city walks, cooking together, and discovering how people live and think across the world. Couchsurfing, to me, isn’t just about a place to stay, it’s about building real human connections.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
Because I love people. I’ve met some of the most inspiring minds just by sitting over tea or walking through a new city with a local. While I travel often for work, Couchsurfing is my way of turning work trips into warm, memorable human experiences.
音乐、电影与书籍
I have a deep love for stories, whether through music, books, or cinema. In books, I enjoy mythology, philosophy, and literature that bridges cultures. Some of my favorites include "The Divine Comedy, Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Goethe’s West–Eastern Divan, Why Nations Fail", and the poetry of classical Iranian masters like Hafez, Rumi, and Ferdowsi. When it comes to music, I listen to jazz, Persian traditional melodies, Arabic rhythms, and pop icons like Michael Jackson, Queen, and Shakira — whatever carries a soul. Favorite films? That’s a long list. But a few that moved me deeply: "Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears, Underground, The Godfather, The Green Mile, Seven Samurai, and Taste of Cherry by Kiarostami."
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
I've helped filmmakers bring their documentaries from remote corners of the world to global screens — sometimes with almost no budget, just creativity, timing, and persistence. I believe every problem has a path; you just need to find or create it.
