Writing

Erkan Tunç

Director, screenwriter, and playwright. He graduated in 2005 from Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Performing Arts, with a major in Dramatic Writing and Dramaturgy. Rooted in literary and theatrical disciplines, Tunç has contributed stories and poems to various literary journals under the pen name “Osman Enes.” His play “Dağınık Gazel” (Scattered Ghazal), which explores the legend of Yılmaz Güney through a tragic character focus, was published in 2008 by Mitos Boyut Publishing. Praised by renowned author Selim İleri as “the play of a young writer with exceptional emotional acuity,” the text was accepted into the State Theatres repertoire that same year. Starting in 2005, Tunç gained extensive hands-on industry experience by serving as script supervisor, assistant director, and second director across television and cinema projects. During this period, he matured his directorial voice by sharing sets with master figures such as Atıf Yılmaz, Osman Sınav, Gülse Birsel, Onur Ünlü, Birol Güven, and Ercan Kesal.
