11D Productions On Foot Feature Film Vision

On Foot Short Synopsis: 

Based on a true story about an Iranian Refugee who literally walked from Iran to Sweden. Walking through the outback’s of Europe in order to escape being arrested by police and having passed a few obstacles alive while traveling the outback he is hunted by a pack of wolves that stock the Forrest, eventually getting rescued by a farmer with 3 dogs.

Attempting to cross the Ionian Sea to Italy from Greece, his boat goes underneath the surface in a storm. He tries his best to swim to shore having been stranded in the middle of the open sea with little or no help, eventually making it to the Italian Shoreline with some help from a herd of dolphins. Now broke and homeless, he soon found himself working for the Italian mob, desperate to earn enough money for shelter and food to continue his journey to Sweden.

A Story Born From Survival, Not Fiction

Some stories are imagined in writing rooms. Others are lived first, then transformed into film. For Amir Simyar, CEO of 11D Productions, storytelling begins with lived human endurance and emotional truth. Simyar say’s; On Foot is a feature film inspired by the true story of one of my family members, who was brutally tortured and nearly beaten to death inside Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison before ultimately managing to escape. Through that personal connection, I gained a rare and harrowing insight into what happens behind its walls. This film is not just another prison story, it is a deeply emotional, urgent, and deeply human account unlike anything audiences have seen before, and as if that weren’t enough, he had to complete the entire journey on foot.

On Foot, the company’s flagship feature film, is based on a true story of an Iranian refugee who walked from Iran to Sweden. His journey crosses borders, forests, seas, and some of the most unforgiving environments in Europe. What begins as escape becomes a test of survival in its purest form. 

The protagonist moves through isolated terrain where danger is constant. At one point, he encounters a pack of wolves in the forest. At another, survival depends on the unexpected kindness of a farmer and his three dogs. These moments are not presented as spectacle, but as lived reality shaped by instinct and chance. For Simyar, this story represents more than cinema. It represents the emotional foundation of 11D Productions, a company built on original ideas that challenge conventional filmmaking.

The Vision Behind 11D Productions

11D Productions was founded with a clear creative principle. Every project must originate from something original, something that has not been seen before in feature film storytelling. In a global industry often driven by repetition, franchises, and formulaic development, Amir Simyar has positioned his company differently. The goal is not to follow trends but to create entirely new narrative experiences.

On Foot reflects this mission. It is not adapted from existing intellectual property. It is constructed from real events and reimagined through cinematic language. The result is a film that blends realism with emotional storytelling in a way that avoids traditional structure. Simyar’s role as CEO is also deeply creative. He is directly involved in shaping narrative direction, ensuring that every project aligns with the company’s commitment to originality.

Across Borders and Into the Sea

The journey in On Foot expands beyond land into the open sea. In one of the film’s most intense sequences, the protagonist attempts to cross the Ionian Sea from Greece to Italy. What begins as a path toward safety turns into a struggle against nature. A storm overtakes the vessel, and the boat sinks beneath the surface. The protagonist is left stranded in open water, facing exhaustion and uncertainty.

This moment becomes a turning point in the story. Alone in the sea, he attempts to swim toward shore with limited strength and no certainty of survival. Eventually, he reaches the Italian coastline with unexpected assistance from a herd of dolphins. This sequence reflects the emotional core of On Foot. It is not designed as fantasy. It is a reflection of survival under extreme conditions, where human endurance meets the unpredictability of nature. Once he arrived in Italy, this refugee’s life turned even darker. With no legal documents and a world of opportunity just out of reach, he found himself working for the Italian Mob. The story of how he became entangled with one of Europe’s most notorious organizations is not only a tale of survival but of complex human relationships and honor in a world of crime.

A Creative Philosophy Built on Originality

At the heart of 11D Productions is a creative philosophy that prioritizes originality above all else. Amir Simyar believes that storytelling loses impact when it relies too heavily on repetition or adaptation. Instead, the company focuses on ideas that originate from real human experience and are developed into entirely new cinematic forms. On Foot is the clearest example of this approach.

The film avoids traditional narrative formulas. It does not rely on predictable plot structure or conventional character arcs. Instead, it focuses on emotional truth, survival instinct, and the psychological reality of migration. This approach positions 11D Productions as a creative studio committed to narrative risk and artistic authenticity.

Music Production as an Extension of Storytelling

While 11D Productions is rooted in filmmaking, Amir Simyar also works extensively in music production for commercial use. This work extends his storytelling philosophy into sound. Each composition is created with narrative intention. Rather than serving as background audio, the music is designed to evoke emotion and reinforce brand identity.

Scoop after Scoop was created for an ice cream commercial, using playful rhythm and tone to reflect joy and sensory pleasure. Crunch, produced for a chocolate campaign, emphasizes texture and indulgence through layered sound design. Major League, an upcoming release for soda advertising, focuses on energy, momentum, and cultural vibrancy. These songs are available for corporate purchase directly through 11D.

Each track is fully written, composed, and executive produced by Simyar, who also serves as executive A & R. This ensures creative consistency across all stages of production. What makes this approach unique is that these compositions are not limited to advertising use. They are also released as extended listening experiences, allowing audiences to engage with them beyond their commercial purpose.

Amir is also collaborating with an R&B artist on a new song that will soon be available for purchase by the general public. A short snippet of the track is set to be released on YouTube shortly.

“I’m constantly in search of new talent,” Amir says. “I’m a real executive, that’s what I do.”

The Connection Between Film and Sound

For Amir Simyar, film and music are not separate disciplines. They are interconnected storytelling tools. On Foot represents visual narrative, while his music production represents emotional structure through sound. This dual approach allows 11D Productions to build layered storytelling experiences. Visual elements define context, while music shapes emotional response. Together, they create a more immersive narrative environment.

This integration reflects a modern understanding of audience engagement. Stories are no longer consumed in a single format. They are experienced across multiple sensory channels. By working across both film and music, Simyar maintains creative control over how emotion is communicated in different formats.

What Sets 11D Productions Apart

In a competitive global entertainment industry, differentiation often comes from scale or technology. 11D Productions  differentiates itself through originality. Every project developed under the company must present something new. Not a variation of existing ideas, but a fundamentally original concept.

On Foot demonstrates this principle in practice. It is a survival story that blends real world experience with cinematic interpretation, without relying on familiar genre templates. This focus on originality defines the company’s identity and long term direction. It also shapes how projects are selected and developed. Simyar’s leadership emphasizes that originality is not optional. It is the foundation of meaningful storytelling.

A Founder Focused on Narrative Impact

Amir Simyar’s role extends beyond executive leadership. He operates as a creative architect, shaping both film and music projects with a unified vision. His work reflects a consistent focus on emotional authenticity. Whether developing a feature film or composing commercial music, the goal remains the same. Create work that resonates on a human level.

This approach allows 11D Productions to function as more than a production company. It becomes a creative platform where storytelling, sound, and experience intersect. On Foot is the clearest expression of this philosophy, but it is not the only one. The company continues to develop projects that expand its creative reach across multiple formats.

Together, these two creative directions define the identity of 11D Productions AB. To learn more about On Foot, upcoming projects, or the creative work of Amir Simyar, visit the official website.
