Working with Gena and Farhad has been a gift. They produced a piece for our arts organization that was not only visually beautiful but truly captured the power of our work and the incredible community that makes it all possible. I would absolutely recommend DawnBreaker Films to anyone looking for a brilliant documentary film crew with talent and heart.

"Exudes charisma & humor"
"Farhad exudes charisma and humor that allows him to charm and relax his subjects. He also has the confidence to step back and allow life to play out in front of his lens. I would gladly leap at the chance to be able to tackle another story with him."

"Poetry"
"Farhad has an amazing eye for images and compositions, and he is one of the finest visual storytellers I've ever met. When Farhad shoots and edits a story, you see poetry in the piece. He is amazing at what he does."
