Short Movie: Bicycles and Thieves

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

While delivering restaurant orders through Berlin, Eylül’s bike is stolen.

A few years ago, my bike was stolen in the inner courtyard of the building where I was living. I was clearly over it, so with some good friends, I made Bicycles and Thieves (2022-2023), a short movie where the protagonist’s bike is stolen.

Life Mixtape

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

I grew up picking song files that would fall from the back of a truck and burning 80 minutes of them to CDs.

In that spirit, I decided to make not a Summer Mixtape, but one for/of my whole life.

If you make one, I would really like to listen to it :)
