Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are both making movies. Huseyin is also a photographer. We would love to share our experience and knowledge about photography, cinematography, directing.
We also know Kurdish and Turkish. We can teach both. Also our staff knows Arabic.
We both know the area very well. We may have suggestions about where to visit around.
Mardin is the only multicultural city in Turkey where you can find different churches, mosques, monasteries. Also have cinematic streets! You will enjoy getting lost in the streets. (Don’t worry it is not that big)

*We are going to build a website also. We need help about it also.
* We have a cooker and eat together at our terrace which has beautiful Mardin and Mesopotamia view.
