#20 - Dariush Asadi: Love For Animation Expressed Through Proficient Scriptwriting

Dariush Asadi is a London based filmmaker, currently working as a freelance script writer for Omens Studios, a Singaporean animation studio, on a popular preschool series on YouTube. In addition, he writes for Lava Moon Studios' next animated mystery-adventure television programme. He completed a BA in film, where he trained to work in various placements and short films and documentaries fulfilling roles throughout all departments and stages of the film. While pursuing his passion for writing, he’s also working as a paid research assistant. We talk a lot about time management because Dariush managed to balance two part-time jobs and schoolwork while the world was hit by the global pandemic.

Quotes:

“Despite me not knowing anything about animation at the time, but I just wanted to get in. 99% of me said to do it and the 1% was like, you're taking over someone's space who actually knows about animation. So I said no to that 1%.”

“I had to look at the designs of their shows and I thought, wow, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.”

“Whenever I'm writing for the characters it sounds like I'm hanging out with friends.” 

“Then I learned to take pride in what I do. I followed that advice as it was something that I'd never had experience in. I just had to learn as much as I can, work hard and it’s fine now.”

“I'm willing to push forward, learn as much as I can and try to find my way around this in industry.”
