Bio
Ipek comes with a built-in mail and newsreader, writes scripts, organizes chaos, runs on coffee; and she is also the first of her kind to enjoy answering emails at 3 am in the morning. If you hear her screaming “I am going on an adventure!” leaving the office building, don’t be afraid she is just going to work on a film set, it’s her normal reaction.
At the age of 16 she moved to Berlin to pursue a career in Filmmaking. So far it's going great. In the meantime, she also graduated from film school, and when she isn't making her own films, she works professionally as a Script Supervisor and Assistant Director for films and television. Her hobbies include wondering why bios are written in the third person, painting, and writing children's books.
