Dear Laura 
this is your answers :

1.Can you say something about your background?
I'm intrested in music and painting more than cinema.

painting and music than cinema.

I make use of people and real location in a Docudrama.

I dont have any agent for my works.
now that my films have taken many ewards in Iran, 
more producer know me and they order their
films to me .

Yes... at the beginning I watch the rushes many time,
after that,I find The idea for the main structure,and
then I start to edit. I usually work all day.
 
5.Have you ever had to edit the same footage as someone else?
No this is the first time that I edit any film like this.
 
6.What kind of issues does the concept of 'Editing Fashion',
where a range of people tackle the same material throw up?
One of attractivenesses of this project for me is to know
what other participants have done with the same rushes.
I have tried to arrange all that has intrested me and 
I hope that my work will be different.
 
7.How will you begin viewing the rushes? Do you start recording time
codes straight off or do you watch and then start editing?
I watch the rushes many time and then I begin to edit.
 
8.Do you use a storyboard?
For the beginning I write some notes, and I difine
the main direction.but I never use story board.
 
9.What software do you work on?
Adobe premier and Edius
 
10.Have you had any initial thoughts on the Galliano footage so far?
Maybe John Galliano has done this kind of work for the 
first time,but i have seen this view about beauty in other forms
of art.like "Diane Arbus" photography.
 
11.Do you find yourself working differently when working with fashion material?
I have a mental basis for all of my works.so for me it dosn't matter whether 
Im working for fashion or any other kind of arts.
 
Pleas let me know if the hard drive has arrived or not yet?
best wishes
Reza
