ABOUT US
The Vision Behind InBodrum Productions
Hello, I'm Ertok Mehmet Erkmen. Since taking my first step into the world of film and television in 2002, storytelling has become my driving passion. Throughout a journey spanning more than two decades—from Director of Photography to Director, from Editor to Producer—I have held one singular goal: to approach every project with a holistic vision and unwavering professionalism.
The Cornerstones of My Career
I began my career working on national and international feature films, documentaries, and TV programs. This hands-on experience gave me the ability to understand not just the mechanics behind the camera, but the entire soul of a project, from the script phase to the moment it connects with an audience. By collaborating with some of the world's most creative advertising agencies, such as TBWA, Alice BBDO, and Leo Burnett, I had the opportunity to translate this vision into compelling stories for global brands like PepsiCo, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Sony.
Local Expertise, Global Reach
While I create from the inspiring atmosphere of Bodrum, I offer my skills and services to clients all over the world. My "Top Rated Plus" status and 100% Job Success Score on global platforms like Upwork are more than just badges of honor. They are a testament to my ability to communicate effectively with clients from diverse cultures and industries, and to deliver projects on time and above expectations. I believe that geographical boundaries should never be a barrier to creativity, and my proficiency in remote collaboration models allows me to bring your project to life, no matter where you are in the world.
My Philosophy: A 360-Degree Perspective
I believe what sets me apart is my comprehensive mastery of every stage of production. As a Director of Photography, I shape light and composition while already thinking like an Editor about how those images will create rhythm and emotion. As a Director, I capture the essence of the story while, as a Producer, ensuring the project meets its budget and schedule. This 360-degree perspective guarantees that every step of your project moves forward efficiently and in perfect harmony.
For me, every project is an opportunity to tell a new story and leave a lasting impact on the audience. If you are looking for not just a technical expert, but a creative partner who will be fully invested in your vision, I look forward to connecting and creating something remarkable together.
