"Filmmaking is not a piece of cake even with advanced technology. It's like bringing a child to the world. A nativity with terrible labor pain."
Feel The Reel International Film Festival Review
‘Paracosm’ is the lost poem of a young Charles Bukowski, the poem of misery as a state of mind, the guilt combined with the power of finding the real you. A young married man is encountering a woman he strongly believes to be linked to his past. This event disturbs him and his life, making the everyday life routine more and more problematic.

Indeed filmmaking is at the very insteresting point nowadays. It's easy to do it with this advanced technology and cameras, in fact, filmmaking is also storytelling. That's where we keep failing. Storytelling needs budget and imagination with many aspects. If you don't have, you have to change your way to tell it. As long as conditions estimate your limits, it will be a pure failure. You have to estimate your own conditions.

In 2015 Bahadir and I shared a project and in this talented young director I retrieved the energy I had when I was younger.
Curiosity, good taste, modesty, talent, cinematographic and musical culture plus an original vision of beauty and art make this guy an extraordinary filmmaker that gives us high hopes of the future of Turkish Cinema.
We are going to share more projects in the next years because I guess we found a perfect balance between two generations and two different backgrounds that put together can create a new way to make movies.
