1. Hello Emir. Could you briefly tell us about the creation and production process of the movie "Spirit" (Tin) and the team?
First of all, when I started the writing process of the movie, I focused on the imaginary sketch of a story that I wanted to tell for a long time, and determined the event flow. Then I started to design the details that would leave a mark on the audience. The metaphors included in the story should have left deep traces on the audience. My teammates and I embraced the script and started the shooting process. The whole team worked hard by adopting the scenario. We made fine touches to capture the framing and cinematic that will create a unique layer with the script of the movie. After the shooting process was completed, we focused on the harmony of the color palette and the music.
2. Lift-Off Sessions – Pinewood Studios was the first stop of the movie "Spirit" on its festival journey. How will the festival journey of the film be shaped from now on?
I can say that the festival process of our film will continue without slowing down.
3. How did this selection affect you and your team? What was the reaction of the team?
Our film made a good start on its way by being selected at the festival. This gave morale and motivation to me and my teammates. We are very excited about what awaits us on our festival journey. I hope his journey will be as good as his beginning.
4. Finally, do you have any new projects? What are the goals of both the movie "Tin" and yours?
The subject of the project should remain as a surprise. My goal and my movie "Spirit" is to be a bounty hunter. Finally, I would like to thank everyone who supported us, especially my teammates, who contributed to this process. To many awards and achievements…
