• director's cut is actually has the same shots with agency cut. The only difference is the first half of music track. Agency wanted to use a simple beginning with strings only; but I feel like this electronic intro is a little hypnotising and I like it more. Emir Yargın did a great job as always and composed a beautiful music.

This was my first time collaboration with dp Fabian Hothan and I'm very happy to work with him. We had some beautiful car shots; but I especially have to mention his contribution on horse shooting. In the very beginning, I was thinking of shooting on red/ 300 frames per second. But Fabian suggested on going with phantom flex 500 frames.
Shooting a free running horse is not easy. Our acting horse Alapaça is a free spirit and he did not want run as fast as we want. We did 7 rounds and luckily could have a perfect shot with enough amount of time...

My producer Cihan worked hard on this one. He did not afraid of going out of the budget. We couldn't have done this without him.
And also many thanks to all crew and supporters especially to Suat Sağlam and Ece İnanç. Production manager Ece found this wonderful place for car driving shots.

The last but not least, many thanks to ipd post production house. They are always very helpful and kind to me.
