Franklin is a young directors’ collective founded in 2013 by Anni & Linda. The creative duo with queer and Iranian backgrounds directs & produces documentary, fiction, commercials and all the lovely formats in between. We collaborate with creatives from diverse backgrounds with differing world views, but the same common goal: to tell meaningful stories that connect people.
