Finding like-minded people to connect here is good.

I have a degree in English and I've written poetry in a newspaper called Africa for almost ten years. So, creative writing aspirations of mine is something I cannot do without, writing mostly in Turkish language, experimenting new poetry and Lyric techniques.

I happened to do an MA in Film in Belfast because I have an acting background and you can call me an unpaid entertainer if not a legendary artist. I have written a screenplay about my childhood, ended up making a short autobiography documentary film called 'Mincemeat' as part of my practice as research project and screened it in some independent cinemas and family gatherings.

I try to be as minimal as possible, I am not an easy person if not a perfectionist. Some Long term goals are learning to cope with panic and anxiety.

I have experience working with actors, editors and directors, most of whom tried to put barriers in front of me, but thanks to everything, I'm grateful for breathing.

I am currently working on some writing and some other creative things. I'm also an experienced foreign language instructor with some teaching qualifications. Experimental filmmaking, short documentaries, childhood traumas, and archival studies are among my interests. I also have a good sense of humour... they say so! :)
