Kargar's short flick ‘The Distance’ (‘Ara’ in Persian) tells the story of Yashar, a native Iranian who returns home after several years to give news to his friend’s family, unaware of the news he would hear from that family.
Directed by Arian Vazir Daftari and produced by Majid Barzegar, ‘Like a Good Kid’ is about a 5-year-old boy named Matin who tells his babysitter Sara a story that makes her plan to steal from their house.
