Stories Behind The Scenes
In this writing, I will tell you about my first serious short film I directed. I will talk about what happened behind the camera rather than the film. This movie was a finishing project that I gave to the teachers at the same time. First I got support from the Ministry of Cinema for the script, and then I started filming. But nothing went as I thought.

Shooting started in Beyoğlu, one of the most crowded cities of Istanbul. When it comes to tourism, Taksim, who first came to mind, was not a suitable place to movie. Immediately after shooting, hundreds of people gathered around the camera. It was impossible to withdraw because everyone was looking at the camera. We found the solution farther from the camera and used cinema lenses. The lenses we call cinematic lenses allow you to shoot images far away. People could not see the camera while the camera was away. At this count, we started shooting. But this time I faced a big problem.

The most famous derby of Turkish Football League is Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray match. People fill the streets when the match time has come. There is a big crowd both before the match and after the match. In the middle of the shooting hundreds of people filled the streets and started shouting. Taksim is a place where Galatasaray fans especially hang out. We came out in the way that we would make art films with our cameras and our team, but we found ourselves waiting for the derby to begin. We made the shootings as soon as the match started. If it was not over until the end of the game, there would not be a film I could write about right now.

The next day we started shooting at the office after the outside shots were over. This time we thought that we would be comfortable in the interior . But in the middle of the shoot, the working friend realized the smell of smoke. She ran out to the kitchen and shouted, **"We are burning''.**

I rented equipment for the movie. When you collect all of the equipment, it costs more than $ 100,000. That's why we had to save the equipment before ourselves. We took the equipment and left the building. One of us was inside and he called us from the window. It was a piece of paper that burned the fire thing. We have never checked the kitchen because of fuzzy. We took the equipment and went office again. I never worked with that girl again.

The mishaps continued to come. We fought with drunks on the way. My friend had lost his bag several times and we insisted that we put important equipment into the bag every time. Even someone poisoned in the movie set ! Luckily we pulled our movie somehow. For now, the film in festival process. I will share my film with you after that process. Next time i will come to you with a more scary story !
