Emin Hüseynov (born December 1997, Baku) is Azerbaijani self-taught filmmaker. He graduated from Azerbaijan State University of Economics. His first short film, Obsession Kills. (2022), was shot in a car wash garage using money he saved from his first job as sales. His filmography includes Obsession Kills. (2022) and no-budget short films: Miss (2024), TSTS: The Comics (2024), Nostalgia of Everything (2024), Days, Months, Years and Nothing Else (2024). His films often focus on building atmosphere and aim to convey a lot within a short runtime through different storytelling. Hüseynov is influenced by Gaspar Noé, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. He was introduced to cinema through Hollow Man. For many years, he only watched horror movies, until his mother recommended Léon, which opened the door to other genres. He has written four feature-length scripts so far. All of his short films are made to gain experience and build a reputation in order to eventually make "Holy Lamb", his latest feature-length script, written specifically to be made on a low budget. He is currently working as an accountant to save money for his next short film "The Heart of the Warlord". (01.02.2025)
