Film, Media and Story AmbassadorFarhoud Meybodi
Founder of Cadre, and Co-Owner of Wayfarer Entertainment, Farhoud Meybodi is a writer, director, and executive producer focused on “disruptively inspirational” storytelling content across scripted, unscripted, and branded distribution channels.
Unlike many creatives in the entertainment business, Farhoud started his career in law, and spent his mid-twenties climbing up the corporate ladder as a sales and marketing Executive for a global luxury brand. This non-traditional background gave Farhoud a marketers mindset — something he draws upon frequently when helping brands, TV networks, non-profits, studios and NGO’s connect with audiences through the magic of empathy and human connection. Farhoud is also a firm believer in the power of “anti-branded content,” a term he coined that represents innovative branded integration’s rooted in universal brand values rather than forced sales conversations. At his core, Farhoud is passionate about creative content that entertains, educates and inspires.
Mostly recently, Farhoud directed and executive produced Season Four of My Last Days, an award-winning documentary series about life told by courageous people living with a terminal illness, for the CW Network. He developed, and executive produced Chefs Without Borders, a documentary series featuring celebrity Chef, Curtis Stone, and Actress/Model, Lindsay Price, as they journey from Los Angeles to Tanzania to live with, and learn from three Indigenous tribes, each representing a unique perspective on food insecurity.
Farhoud also developed, executive produced and wrote Man Enough, a dinner conversation series featuring Scooter Braun, Anderson Silva, Justin Baldoni, Matt McGorry, Javier Munoz, Prince EA, Derek Hough, Tony Porter, Aydian Dowling and Jamey Heath that explores the heart of traditional masculinity in America. Farhoud created, developed and executive produced Project Upgrade, an unscripted series for Google featuring YouTube stars, The Merrell Twins, as they set out to design and build a new consumer product with the help of successful, female mentors from Google, Space X, NASA, and Disney.
Farhoud has also developed and directed national campaigns for Subaru, Kellogg’s, MetroPCS, and The Ad Council, and sold several scripted pitches to major studios and television networks.
