"The International Uşak Short Film Festival is one of Turkey's most stable, most alternative, in short, the most special short film festivals. The International Uşak Short Film Festival, which is a festival where not only short films and cinema but also many branches of art are blessed and celebrated, has been continuing its journey for years despite limited opportunities. In this context, it is a great honor for me to be a member of the board of directors of such a meaningful festival and to be a sweater for this festival. I would like to thank Onur Keşaplı, who has been the director of the festival for years, and Kerem Yükseloğlu for giving me and Kerem Yükseloğlu this opportunity. I hope that with our participation in the festival, the festival will get stronger and continue its adventure and will always make a name for itself with its contribution to the short film genre.”
