Multi-Award Winning Young Turkish Woman Filmmaker Dreamed As A Child In Istanbul To One Day Come To Hollywood And Make Motion Pictures Hollywood, California - - One day long ago a girl named Ozlem Altingoz wandered on to a Turkish television show set in Istanbul where she was warmly welcomed by the cast and crew. She watched the actors and the company work tirelessly until the sun set. That day, she says, was the wellspring of her journey to come to Hollywood and learn all the aspects of filmmaking, particularly directing. Now, years later, award-winning director Ozlem has premiered her two short, distinctive, horror films at such high-profile film festivals as the prestigious Cannes Film festival (Festival De Cannes) to Spain’s Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, considered the premiere horror film festival the world over. Ozlem has given new meaning to the horror film genre known as “Slasher Films.” “I am a horror filmmaker…that is where my journey has taken me,” asserted Ozlem, who, as a child in Turkey, watched such films as Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist and Psycho. “I want to create horror films my audiences will remember forever and ever…not films that will remind them of something they have already experienced on the screen.” Director-producer-author Shane Stanley (The Grid Iron Gang with Dwayne Johnson, Showtime’s Mistrust with Jane Seymour, the just released feature theatrical film, The Untold Story with Nia Peeples and the author of What You Don't Learn in Film School) had this to say about Ms. Altingoz’s award- winner, Birth: “Ozlem Altingoz has taken the psych-thriller to a whole new level. If you don't know who she is, set your watch, you will soon...very soon." David Armstrong, Director of Photography (Saw Series) commented: “Stunning opening credits! It’s amazing that you got all that story in a short film. Well edited, great story.” Scott Lobdell, Writer (Happy Death Day): “Looks so creepy, high tension.” -more- Ozlem Altingoz-2 Her award-winning film (25 film awards) Birth (https://ozlemaltingoz.com/films/birth/) and earlier Daughter of the Lake (https://ozlemaltingoz.com/films/daughter-of-the-lake/) are multi-award winners.
