Ace audiovisual storyteller and director Zion’s initial career was not easy at all because his dark and deep content made him face criticism from common people. Zion says “People mostly criticize art forms and things they don’t understand, that doesn’t make them bad but limited.” Zion never believed in hiding things and always believes in speaking up things and ideas thundering under his heart.

There is also one interesting story about this genius storyteller that, Zion encountered Dominique Appia’s painting “Entre les trous de la Mèmoire” in his preschool period. For years he could not get over that painting and used to think about it all the time. He started making films and short films depicting how people and even himself escape the reality and recreate their own world of imaginations and hallucinations.
