Hello! I'm a film and commercial director (also an ex copywriter) based in Istanbul.

Born and raised in the beautiful sunny Izmir on west side of Turkey, I moved to Istanbul at 2009 after I graduated from university (Izmir University of Economics- Communication Faculty).
 
After 6 years of copywriting in Turkey's top advertising agencies and won many awards including Grand Prix in Golden Drum, Gold in London International Awards and two times best campaign award in Crystal Apple Awards, I decided one day to follow my passion for filmmaking. I moved to Czech Republic and study filmmaking in Prague Film School for one year. After I came back to Istanbul in 2016 I started to work as a commercial director. With the combination of my copywriting experience and love of filmmaking, directing commercials felt like a dream to me. For last 6 years, I've found a chance to direct many commercials for international and national brands such as KFC, McDonald's, Knorr,  Vodafone, Isbank, Digiturk etc.

In 2019, I also wrote and directed a short film called "Octopus" which has made it's premiere in world's biggest short film festival: Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in 2020. So far film has won many awards including Special Mention Prize in 39th Istanbul Film Festival and Best screenplay award at Sapporo short film festival.

Now I'm mostly shooting commercials, occasionally copywriting in freelance projects and working on my first feature screenplay whenever I can find a time.
