In this fast-swiping, instant gratification age of Tinder and Bumble, trying to find love the old-school way - via a personal ad in the paper - seems charmingly out-of-touch, even hopeless.
Shahram Katozpour's ad caught the attention of film production company "The Producers", which was looking for someone to showcase in a series of short films, part of a promotional campaign cooked up by McCann Melbourne and putted together a print ad pointing viewers to LoveShahram.com.
My film is part of that trilogy, a film noir genre that compares love to chess, another passion of Shahram’s.
