Get Together
You make the choices at Val's first university party.
“Across everything I make, I love hiding small messages in my work for people to find.”
I'm a film producer. I was born in Ankara, Turkey, grew up in Dubai, and came to Toronto to study media production at TMU. My work runs from theatre to graphic design to interactive film.
Who I am keeps changing with every project, mistake and experience. I've been lucky to absorb so many cultures along the way, and that shapes how I work more than any accomplishment does.
Let's make something.
Every project I've worked on started with someone who cared about a story and needed help getting it made. If you're that person, I'd love to hear from you.
