Nima Nourizadeh marks his feature film directorial debut with "Project X." After graduating from Central St. Martins College of Art & Design, Nourizadeh and friends formed The Imaginary Tennis Club. Based in East London, the collective established the Millers Terrace Art Gallery and shot various videos for bands and up-and-coming UK artists. In 2005, Nourizadeh directed a breakthrough clip for Hot Chip's smash single "Over and Over," followed by award-winning videos for artists such as Lily Allen, Chromeo, Flight of the Conchords, Santigold and more.
In 2008, he won Best Director at the UK Music Video Awards, and soon after, branched out into commercials with an epic spot for Adidas' 60th anniversary. The ad "House Party" featured many high profile athletes, musicians and artists, including David Beckham, Kevin Garnett, Missy Elliott, Katy Perry, Mark Gonzales and more. The spot was met with huge critical acclaim and won several awards, including a Silver at Cannes.
