Now Or Never is the production company of Parissa Pirouzan Glaser, an indie filmmaker born and raised in Tehran, Iran, now living in the US.
Parissa has a Ph.D. in Translation from the University of Salamanca in Spain. Prior to pursuing her dream of making films she worked for nearly a decade at some of Silicon Valley's most revered tech companies such as Google, Uber and Pinterest where she led international launches and expansions.
As a filmmaker she is especially passionate about the representation of immigrants and minorities of the Middle East, in particular non-religious individuals, LGBTQ+ and strong women whose stories are rarely told through their own eyes. Parissa aspires to portray those like her who don't conform to typical stereotypes and are often misrepresented or altogether not represented in the Western media and productions.
