Biography

Eskandari immigrated to the United States as a child with his family following the Iranian revolution. He graduated from the University of Southern California and directed several award-winning short films, including "The Taking," which won the Screamfest Award for Best Student Short. This film earned him nationwide recognition when Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett selected him from a pool of 12,000 candidates to participate in the Fox filmmaker competition 'On the Lot.'

Eskandari made his feature directorial debut with the psychological thriller "Victim." Distributed theatrically by IFC Films, the film was praised by Ain't It Cool News as "a thinking man's Saw" and described as "both original and disturbing." His next feature, "The Gauntlet," starring international actors Bai Ling and Dustin Nguyen, was produced and filmed entirely in China. It became one of the first China-US co-productions approved by the Beijing Film Bureau and, after a successful festival run worldwide, was distributed by Lionsgate Studios under the title "Game of Assassins."

His third feature, the self-contained swimming pool thriller "12 Feet Deep," starring Tobin Bell and Alexandra Park, received critical acclaim as "a tensely directed hidden gem that will leave you struggling to breathe." It has become MarVista's top-selling title, amassing a record 40 million trailer views within its first months of release.

Drawing from a unique cultural background and refining his skills in genre filmmaking, Eskandari is poised to use his distinctive voice to further explore human nature and address the relevant fears and themes of today's world.
