He was born in 1993 in Istanbul. He graduated from Yeditepe Radio, Cinema and TV after Eyüboğlu College. He started making short films during his secondary/high school years and continued at university. The film Re-Era, sponsored by Yeditepe University, took the first steps in science fiction and brought many awards and acclaim. Subsequently, he began working on long-feature films. When he was in his final year, he wrote, directed and produced the long-feature film called Göçebe, a co-production with TRT. Göçebe made its world premiere at the Montreal Fantasia International Film Festival and its Turkey premiere at Istanbul International Film Festival. This dystopic, fantasy-themed film was among the few examples of its genre in Turkey. After this, he established the production department of Oflaz Media and for a while he was in charge of the digital platform called Filbox Hemen. He founded Mug Production in 2012 and still continues to work as a director, script writer and producer for cinema, TV series and advertisements.
