Kırkayak - my z-budget comedy adventure from 2008
Added 2025-03-17 12:29:07 +0000 UTCMy first proper short film - from back when I had serious ambitions to be a filmmaker :) Looking back, this film feels extremely embarrassing to watch - but I'm sharing it with you guys nevertheless. Enjoy!
Me with friends, directing Kırkayak in 2007.
The closest I got to being a professional filmmaker was in this era of my life - during the early 2000s, when I directed music videos, short commercials and was featured in a TV show about life as a college student. Films like Kırkayak gave me a limited "cult" recognition among young arts and film enthusiasts in Istanbul, and I jokingly referred to my filmmaking endeavours as "Memowood".
Afterwards, I drifted away from films and was interested more in art and books. I still want to make more films, not just crazy MemoWood adventures but also documentaries as well.
Time and circumstances permitting, MemoWood may rise again. But sadly, we will all have outgrown the cheerful innocence of its earlier incarnation.
