Support from the Ministry of Culture for Res. Asst. Eda Çekemci's Project!

 The short film project “Aç Açına”, produced by Res. Asst. Eda Çekemci and directed by Ahmet Toğaç, started its journey at the 22nd International İzmir Short Film Festival. Presenting their projects before the jury in the Film LAB section of the 22nd İzmir International Short Film Festival, Çekemci and Toğaç left İzmir with first place. Later, continuing their project development work, Çekemci and Toğaç were selected for the 6th Short Film Workshop, Meetings on the Bridge, organized by İKSV. Here, they received training from important names in the industry and were selected as the finalists in the Final Draft Film Platform Short Film Production Support category held within the scope of the Mercy to the Universe International Short Film Festival. The last stop of their journey with “Aç Açına” was the short film production support carried out by the General Directorate of Cinema under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The shooting of the project, which was entitled to receive short film production support among the applications made, will take place in the summer.

“Our Journey Will Proceed Much More Comfortably”

Res. Asst. Eda Çekemci, the producer of the “Aç Açına” short film project, started her speech by stating that the short film production support they received was very important for the journey of the project. Cekemci said that they are advancing the journey of the project with calm and confident steps and that they have started to accelerate their work towards the set after a one-and-a-half-year project development and preparation process. Cekemci said that there are some financial constraints regarding the project, which will be shot in the summer months, and that these constraints slow down their steps from place to place, and that they will complete the road much more comfortably with the short film production support they have obtained. Stating that the support provided by various platforms, especially the short film production support provided by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is extremely important in the short film industry, Çekemci stated that they are happy to be entitled to support and that they will continue to work rapidly.

Congratulations to Res. Asst. Eda Çekemci.
