As I have always said "The food might not have cost you much, but it took a lot of effort and sacrifice to get to your plate. Every piece of food thrown away adds to another man's hunger and wastes another person's labor."
Award-winning Turkish film director, Producer, Scenarist, Actor and Musician.
Muhammed Bozbey was born in Turkiye in 1988. He completed elementary, middle and high school education in İstanbul. Throughout his education, he carried out many artistic activities such as concerts and theatre. He got into Gaziantep University State Conservatory in 2008. In 2009, he was accepted into İstanbul Halic University Conservatory. He graduated from the same school in 2013.
He worked as stage actor in Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Show and Art Center in 2014-2016. As a freelancer, he made a music video, directed an introduction film and worked as a critic at Kashna publishing house. Beside musicianship and acting, he went to America and studied Film Direction in Los Angeles.
He was part of the team that organized the 1st Hollywood Turkish Film Festival in Los Angeles in the fall of 2017. He became a member of Jury at the same film festival. In 2018, he worked as an assistant director for music videos, live broadcasts, and TV programs in Los Angeles.
After completing his education in America, he returned to Turkey and shot his first short film project “The Wasted Effort” which was written and directed by him.
This short film “The Wasted Effort” met with the audience at many festivals around the world by raising awareness about the value of “labor and laborer” at the world premiere. It was nominated for many awards. This film was the beginning of a long career for projects that benefit humanity.
