a creator of story worlds who lives at the intersection of cinema and human society. As a writer, screenwriter, screenwriting instructor, acting coach, director, and producer, Rahman views cinema not merely as a medium, but as a transformative process capable of shaping thought within the global village — where differences and similarities in language and ethnicity can both end a social peace and give rise to a new civilization.
Alongside his cinematic work, Rahman has written philosophical prose and stage plays and has also been active in the petrochemical industry. As an inventor, he has developed ideas and designs in renewable energy, handmade and machine-made carpets, and industrial design. This intersection of engineering thinking with the logic and philosophy of cinema has deepened his creative approach, making his works more issue-driven and conceptually grounded.
In Rahman’s intellectual world, story is the starting point; however, philosophy, logic, truth, and reality form the foundation of narrative. His central concern is the question of peace and war within both individual and collective human societies — a perspective reflected in works that aim to create meaningful, participatory, and lived experiences for audiences.
Ultimately, he believes that both the beginnings and endings of artistic journeys are tied to material and immaterial systems of capitalism, which is why not every story finds its way into a book, stage, or film. Perhaps for this reason, Rahman feels a deep affinity for shepherding and closeness to nature — a perspective that shapes the ethical, behavioral, and philosophical foundations of his storytelling.
