He’s been an advisor, consultant, designer, and executive of companies ranging from start-ups to NASDQ blue chips. Born in London, England and raised in Tehran until the revolution of 1979, DCA and his family emigrated to the United States when he was six.
​
A world-renowned orthopedic trauma and cancer surgeon, DCA practices at Cedars-Sinai and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Dedicated to the country that gave him so much, he is a Commander in the Medical Corps of the U.S. Navy Reserve and eployed to Iraq in 2018 as part of Operation Inherent Resolve.
Having close family ties, DCA was exposed to the inner workings of the film industry at an early age. His aunt was the pioneering make-up artist Dorothy Pearl and his uncle, iconic casting director Don Phillips. As a member of SAG/AFTRA, DCA has acted in several films, including Michael Bay’s PEARL HARBOR. Recognizing the positive and negative power of the film industry on people of all societies, DCA has a strong desire to make a positive impact on the world through film.
After DCA and Andrew Bowen’s successful venture of THE 716th, a sci-fi short officially selected to the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, and winner of the 2018 Solzy Award for Best Sci-fi Short, DCA didn’t hesitate to act on another opportunity to work with Bowen on their latest project, SCENT. A well-crafted story with excitement, depth, and a message of overcoming self-doubt and sabotage to emerge empowered, the film falls right in line with DCA’s mission to deliver positive, productive content to the world.
