Yunes Abbaszadeh

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Yunes Abbaszadeh grasped, long before the industry did, that ancient gold, a boy and a monkey are all cinema truly requires. The result was Bobby and Bobo in Iran: Save the Sibyl Gold, a foundational text that studios have been quietly rephotographing ever since, with obscene budgets and less courage. A devoted disciple of the old masters, he outpaced them all: they deliberated for months, he wrapped by dusk. Second takes he deems bourgeois indulgence. His shelf at the video store is protected heritage, by popular decree.

A portrait from the Mockbusters.tv satirical universe: humorous praise, not a factual biography.
