Kyung Hee University

The project of the year 2023.

I aimed to create a more global project by using all the languages I can speak (Turkish, English, Korean) and shot in two different countries. Proving that it’s possible to make an action film on a low budget, I was honored with the project of the year award at the university. During the award ceremony, I delivered a speech, emphasizing the importance of focusing on different projects and thinking outside the box to first-year students. This way, my first film became a tangible expression of my passion for filmmaking.
