A life spent listening to the city,
telling the story of its people.
I live in Istanbul; its crowds, its stage and its quiet corners stand in the background of everything I do. On my desk there is always a new project file, the script draft of the next film, or a book left half-read. Because to me, they are all different answers to the same question: what do people live by?
“All my life I've moved through different fields. Yet really, I've always done the same thing: understanding people, telling their story, and adding value.”
This site exists to gather my work, the notes I keep on my travels, what I read, what I watch and what I think — all under one roof. Not a showcase, not an advertisement... More of an archive of the things I find worth talking about.

The Kentliler Mail Group
Become a Kentli, too.
Being a Kentli means looking at the city, at art and at people from the same table. Once a month I send a letter: culture and arts picks, notes on technology, legal know-how you can actually use, and short essays on personal growth. It never comes more often than that — and it never wears out your inbox.
