Be The Last
I had the opportunity to add a new one to the journeys of experience that I have embarked on by saying that the world is a land of experiences. While developing the script process of my feature-length feature film "Uğur'lu Anne", whose script was supported by the Hessen Film Institute affiliated to the German Ministry of Arts and Culture, I wanted to present you a clip in the taste of a musical film. Sitting in the director's chair with my dear mentor Cevahir Çokbilir, we shot in Gaziantep, a city that contains all kinds of cultural and geographical richness of Anatolia. I owe a debt of gratitude to our teammates in this project that we worked with an incredibly intense tempo.
