Kuzey Ölgün

Kuzey Ölgün (born November 13, 2003) is a Turkish film director, mechanical engineer, painter, and art producer. Beginning his creative journey in childhood by writing screenplays and shooting experimental footage, Ölgün sustained his artistic output during periods away from filmmaking by painting portraits on canvas and selling them on the street, while simultaneously documenting rural life and nature with a mobile camera. Following the release of his debut short film, Powderpink Killer (2021), he went on to direct Hacimirza Diaries Fahrettin (2022), Old Man's Hell Chess (2023), Children of Happiness (2024), and Grim Wheel (2025). His work explores themes of personal memory, nature, inner conflict, and the formal language of cinema. Bridging his background in mechanical engineering with visual storytelling, Ölgün continues to create independent works that merge technical precision with aesthetic sensibility.
