Life and Career[edit]
Hagani grew up in the Upper Manhattan area of New York City. He attended the Dwight School and graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2018. During his time at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Hagani wrote, produced, and directed his first short film, Refuge Island[3] (2017), while studying abroad at the University of Technology Sydney.[4]
During his time in Amherst, Hagani created, wrote, directed, produced, and acted in the Web television series Boys to Men (2015-2018)[5]. The series ran five full-length episodes and drew parallels to the lives of Hagani and the cast and crew over their four years at college[6]. The series won the university-recognized award, the Michael S. Roif Excellence in Film Studies Award[7] twice. In 2018, the series received syndication on the local television channel, Amherst Media.[8]
Hagani studied at the London Film School from 2018 to 2020, where he was deemed an 'Emerging Talent to Watch Out For'[9]. During his studies, he worked with British stage and screen actor Adrian McLoughlin for his most recent short film, Terry[10]. His time in London was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hagani also has long-standing ties to sleep-away camp, Camp Wekeela, in Hartford, Maine. He was a camper there for years and ultimately took up the position as Performing Arts Department Head in the summer of 2020.
Hagani, as of now, resides in New York and is currently in development on his next short film, Valid Glitter, which will be shot and completed in 2021.
