Hello all.
My name's Abed and I'm a newbie filmmaker.
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa and I'm now living in Istanbul, Turkey where I work as a Senior Digital News Editor.
I'm a journalist by profession, but recently I've begun the transition into filmmaking.
I made my directorial debut with a short climate change documentary for the company I work for, titled Saving Earth: Turkey's Wildlife Corridor.
I'm happy to say that it was well-received at a number of awards and festivals that I took a chance by entering.
My new web-series titled Faces of Istanbul is also complete and can be viewed on my website or my IGTV.
After dipping my beak in this world, I'm now looking to hopefully switch careers by starting with producing my own short films. The script for my first is almost complete.
I found this forum by chance after searching for tips and tricks for indie filmmakers.
After browsing through some of the posts on the forum, It became clear to me that this site will serve as an invaluable source of information for me on my journey.
Thanks!
