Could you briefly tell us about yourself?

I was born in 1988, in Istanbul. I am still living in Istanbul. For the past 12 years, I’ve been working in cinema-TV business.

Did you major in your current profession in college?

I graduated from Istanbul Bilgi University, Cinema and TV Department in 2006. During my college years, I started working for the sector and I am still actively working in the sector. There are many different lines of work you can pursue after graduating from this faculty. After self-training for 6-7 years in different departments, I started directing. I’ve been a director for the past 7 years.

Which companies do you work for and in which capacity?

I work with various production companies who shoot commercials for leading companies in Turkey. Also, I am a member of Batesmotelpro team, a leading team specialized in viral videos, content and commercials in Turkey.

Which artists’ music videos did you direct?

In my 7 years of experience as a director, I had the opportunity to work with various brands including Nescafe, Fiat, Mitsubishi, Garanti Bonus, Yapı Kredi Bank, Axa Insurance, Kiğılı, Panda, Lassa, and Pronet.

Do you have any recommendations for young people who wish to pursue your profession?

First and foremost, this profession requires persistence and resilience. Because, getting somewhere, making a name for yourself is not as simple and easy as one can imagine. It is not possible to reap the fruits without years of hard work; therefore, after setting your goal, you must never give up. Also, remember that being curious is an important trait. You must continuously be eager to learn new things and improve yourself. Otherwise, you’ll make no progress. Our profession deals with entertainment business, therefore assuming all the phases will be fun-centered, will be wrong. You may be disappointed.
