Early life

Nader Talebzadeh was born in Iran in 1953. When he was 16 years old, he went to the United States to continue his education. He told the Los Angeles Times in 2008 that he studied at the American University in Washington D.C. from 1970. Afterwards, he studied the cinema at Columbia University in New York City.[10][11] He returned to Iran at the end of MA, at the same time as the Iranian Revolution. In the inflamed days of the Iranian Revolution, he began as an interpreter and guide of some media and news agencies until he founded the Tehran Times newspaper ten days after the victory.[12]

He has directed, written and produced documentary films about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. As an independent documentary filmmaker he was witness to the atrocities committed during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war of the mid-1980s. Talebzadeh’s research for the film The Messiah spans an entire decade. It incorporates and blends historical documents from the Bible and the Quran and focuses on the unifying message of the life of Jesus and his teachings. Impassioned by the message of Christ since birth, Talebzadeh presented an Islamic perspective on Jesus and his teachings in The Messiah. It is Talebzadeh's first feature-length dramatic production.[10][13][14][11][15][16][17][18][19]
