Coordinator - Production / Originals Turkey at Netflix

Istanbul, Türkiye

About

My strong passion for films introduced me to film festivals. I helped to develop and organize an International Short Film Festival in Istanbul when I was 19. I have a creative spirit and a keen eye for detail along with a real appreciation for films and TV series and what they stand for. I believe they have the ability to pass beyond entertainment and influence people acutely in every aspect of the world. It exhilarates me to be involved in the industry and to be able to contribute to its power what I most value.
