Biography
Born during the Iran war of 1980-1988, his parents were Architecture students but very active as political opponents and under surveillance of the political police of Iran. Due to the nature of their illegal activism they were forced to leave everything behind and decided to hide in Yugoslavia before heading to Hamburg, Germany, where he was briefly schooled before the family relocated in Paris, France. K-Michel had to move constantly and grew up in several cities, such as Paris, Saumur, Nantes, Angers and then again Paris. After getting his degrees he decided to leave for New York City where he currently resides. He is now represented by the Endeavor Talent Agency as a writer and film director.
K-Michel received his first degree in mathematics and economics, his second in film directing and his third in philosophy from the Paris X University Nanterre.
