Global Agency Touts Top Turkish Talent for New Shows

Top Turkish talent from two of Global Agency’s high-end dramas attended MIPCOM to tout the global appeal of the new titles.

In a press conference for Another Love, stars Burak Deniz and Hande Erçel, director Neslihan Yeşilyurt and executive producers Burak Sağyaşar and Timur Savcı of TIMS&B Productions talked about the cinematic feel of the romantic mystery show.

Yeşilyurt noted that she discovered more about herself as a director while filming the project and tried to reflect the feeling she got from the script into the visuals. The cinematic feel of the series “is also proof that we can [make] for Turkish TV such a quality, beautiful project.”

Another upcoming series from Global Agency is Red Roses, which stars Özcan Deniz and Özgü Namal, who returns to the screen after nearly ten years. The show centers on two people from different social classes within Turkey.

“There is a huge polarization in Turkey right now between different groups,” Özcan Deniz explained. “There has always been a problem with economic positions, but it’s just growing and growing in the world and in Turkey. The rich people are extremely rich and the poor are just getting poorer. In the story, we’re going to see a more modern and secularized part of Turkey, and then we have the more traditional and religious part. We all live in the country together, but we are all quite different.”

He continued, “The story involves two children, and it’s through these children that we see both sides of the story. We have one child that represents the modern, secularized part, and then we have one child who’s going to represent the more traditional and religious side. This is something that will reflect all over the world. People will find something to identify with in the story.”

“I also want to emphasize that the idea of the show is not at all to make any divisions,” he added. “On the contrary, it’s a story that shows and really underlines the fact that we are actually good together.”
