Hi everybody,
I hope all is well with you.
I'm just dropping you a quick note to let you know that out of apprx. 1600 films, my short film 'Stibimmt so!' made it to the top 99 films at a sub category of the Berlin Film Festival. In order to win the audience award we need every vote. I'd be happy if you took the 2 minutes support our film with all of your 9 votes. I'd also appreciate it if you told friends about this.

This is where you can vote:
http://www.99fire-films.de/voting.html
1. Click on my film called 'Stibimmtso'.
2. Under the video click the purple button that says 'jetzt abstimmen'.
3. A field opens. Click on: 'Über Facebook-Konto anmelden'.
4. Another field should open where you have to click on 'Log In with Facebook'.
5. Again, click on the purple button that says 'jetzt abstimmen'.
6. Click it as it reappears until you have supported us with all 9 votes.

In case the film cannot be viewed from your country you can watch it here. I shall add English subtitles soon.

Thanks and wish us luck. :D

I am not an actor. I'm a writer and director. But every now and then I enjoy stepping in front of the camera.

Off to Istanbul

Friday, Apr 15, 2011 10:59PM / Members only

Hey everybody,
tonight me, Umit (also on AnD www.alivenotdead.com/umitdemirbas) and my fiancé are off to Istanbul in preparation for our next martial arts feature film. Stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, check out this teaser for a making of segment that we shot last weekend. This little take was shot with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 mobile phone, so I'm sorry for the bad quality.

Two Random Scenes I Directed

Friday, Mar 11, 2011 7:00PM / Members only

Check out these two scenes I recently directed.
It was fun and it was also an opportunity to work with an old friend of mine. He and his friend were camera operators on this. Our work chemistry was great and I hence decided to include them into my next, bigger project.
Stay tuned...

Japanese animation has lost one of its giants. He died at the age of 47. He was one of the best anime directors and brought classics such as "Tokyo Godfathers", "Millenium Actress" or "Paprika".
Below is a fan made trailer of "Paprika" using sound from the "Inception" trailer.

Sounds great! As impressive as it would be for one to complete a feature in 6 days, I was initially concerned was that all the time you had to shoot your whole film...! Shooting promos or scenes for film are becoming more and more common practice in order to raise finance for completion of features. Wishing you the very best on your project!
I'll PM you with my email address... :)

No problem dude! I'm doing alright thanks. Enjoying it here in HK.
That's awesome you got your film going and scheduled to shoot in Istanbul too! May I ask how long of a shoot do you have for your feature or is it just the 6 days...?

Good to hear from you Hussain! Thanks for the kind words on "Anguish". Yes, it was shot on the Canon 7D with an anamorphic lens. All the slow-mo shots were function of the 7D.

Cool! I hope to get it shown in Germany one day. Will have to see about getting it properly subtitled, etc. Would be cool to take a trip there to host a screening. I'll let you know what's the deal.
