Filmmaker Maryam Keshavarz on Non-Profits

"Circumstance," Keshavarz’s daring first feature (which was a 2006 TAA grantee), is about the explorations of two rebellious teenage girls set in Iran. It is a credit to Keshavarz’s sheer tenaciously researched approach that fifty percent of her budget was through non-profit grants and donations/deferments.
