About Me.

I'm Ogulcan Koyler, the First AD, located in Istanbul, born in 1989, with a passion for contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of filmmaking. My journey commenced at Girne American University in Cyprus, where I immersed myself in the world of cinema.

A Decade of Filmmaking

 

With over a decade of experience as a freelance filmmaker, my path led me to a unique role—I'm the wingman, the organizer, and the coordinator behind the scenes. As a First Assistant Director, I've become adept at orchestrating and coordinating every element to ensure the director's vision comes to life seamlessly.

 

 

Behind-the-Scenes Maestro

 

In the realm of storytelling, my canvas extends from TV commercials to TV series, feature films, short films, and promotions for various industries. However, my forte lies in being the orchestrator, ensuring that every piece of the puzzle falls into place. I'm the behind-the-scenes maestro, translating creative visions into tangible productions.

 

 

Global Collaborations

 

My journey has taken me across continents, collaborating with talented individuals from the UK, USA, France, India, Qatar, Dubai, Denmark, Sweden, and I am currently based in the vibrant city of Istanbul. This rich global exposure has honed my ability to navigate diverse narratives and bring a unique organizational perspective to every project.

 

 

Notable Projects

 

While not every project may claim awards, each holds its unique significance. One of the projects I worked on left its mark at the Sundance US Dramatic Competition, showcasing the collaborative effort behind the scenes. Another project earned recognition at the Ankara International Film Festival, the Edara Film Festival, and received multiple nominations.

 

The Organizational Touch

 

Starting from the ground up was a conscious decision, allowing me to comprehend every aspect of the filmmaking craft. My hands-on approach has shaped my professional ethos, instilling a profound respect for the intricate coordination required in the filmmaking process.

 

 

Let's Craft Productions Together

 

Whether it's orchestrating the perfect shot, coordinating logistics, or ensuring a seamless production flow, I'm here to bring organizational expertise to the table. Let's collaborate and turn creative visions into cinematic reality!
