I'm an inquisitive and playful filmmaker, passionate about telling stories that emotionally connect, visually appeal, and technically amaze. I work in all formats that allow me to do that - from feature and shorts to commercials and music videos. If I haven't done something before, chances are I am excited to try my hand at it.

​

Born Turkish and a naturalized American, I now call Hamburg, Germany home.

​

2011 - Present - directing effect-heavy, high-concept commercials

​

2018 - 'Brigade', a technically advanced music video that very few seem to be able to wrap their head around

2017 - 'Hadia', returned to the short format combining 2d and stop- motion, working with Syrian refugee kids

2013 - 'Kara', started developing an 'autobiographical fantasy', the beginning of a long road for second stop-motion feature

2010 - 'Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams', directorial debut on stop-motion feature with theatrical release

2007 - 'The Three Robbers', first feature film experience in 2d animation

2005 - 'Bo', graduation film learning 2d animation the hard way

2005 - 'Eva', first film, first short, got bitten by 'stop-motion bug'
