MEET NAZ

Naz Rahimi is a British producer and director with a background in editing and post-production. She has spent over 15 years working across documentary, narrative, and commercial productions around the world. Her work combines cinematic precision with human depth, reflecting years of collaboration with diverse and remote communities across the globe. Naz continues to take on varied roles in production and post-production—as a producer, director, editor, and self-shooter—and has recently worked as a post producer with All Rise Films and DDC International.

Her career began in Auckland, New Zealand, where she trained under Golden Globe and Emmy winner Ken Zemke while editing a television series. She later completed her degree at Bournemouth University, founding a small production company that created short documentaries and commercials for local businesses.

After graduation, Naz moved to Israel to work in the Archives of the Bahá’í World Centre, where her filmmaking skills quickly gained recognition. She soon began producing and editing films for the organization and was selected as part of the creative teams behind the global documentary releases Light to the World and A Widening Embrace, serving as both producer and editor.

Following the premiere of A Widening Embrace, Naz returned to the United Kingdom, producing short films for a range of organizations. She was soon called back to lead a major global media initiative—the Bicentenary Project (bicentenary.bahai.org)—a live digital platform coordinating content from over 160 countries, with broadcasts from ten Bahá’í Houses of Worship worldwide. The project spanned several months and culminated in a 72-hour global live broadcast event.

Afterward, Naz was invited to help establish the Office of Media and Technologies, a new media office at the Bahá’í World Centre responsible for maintaining and producing content for the family of official Bahá’í websites and their accompanying social media accounts. Her focus was primarily the Bahá’í World News Service, where she produced hundreds of newsreels, built an international network of journalists, filmmakers, and photographers, and produced several documentary features for the platform. This work connected her with some of the most remote and diverse communities across the planet, shaping a perspective that continues to inform her creative work.

After eight years in Haifa, Naz returned to independent work to explore new forms of documentary storytelling. This led to her involvement in the Apple TV+ series The War for Football—a production that went on to win two Emmy Awards.

Today, she continues to work internationally on independent narrative and documentary projects, while producing commercials for leading brands including Slack, Salesforce, Johnson & Johnson, Anthropic, Claude, Celonis, IBM, Fujitsu, and Cisco.
