CEMAL AKSULUN

I was born on May 16, 2003, in Istanbul, Turkey. I completed my high school education at Aydın Doğan Vocational and Technical High School, where I specialized in Radio and Television Programming—a field I believed was well-suited to my interests and skills. Over the course of three years, I received both theoretical and practical training, actively participating in various projects and group assignments. This period helped me discover my strengths in writing, content creation, project development, organization, and directing. My teachers' recognition, my peers’ support, and my own motivation confirmed these abilities.

During my final year of high school, I interned at Matya Film Production, gaining firsthand industry experience. At the same time, I co-founded a dessert and café business called Felina Waffle with friends, which taught me valuable lessons in leadership, communication, and responsibility.

Following high school, I was awarded a full scholarship to study Radio and Television Programming at Istanbul Aydın University. There, I continued to take part in both theoretical and practical courses, as well as collaborative projects, receiving positive feedback from my professors.

Throughout my university years, I continued my internship at Matya Film Production. I was involved in filming promotional videos for various institutions and took on roles such as camera assistant, editing assistant, and director’s assistant. Despite being an intern, I proactively sought responsibilities beyond my position in order to deepen my understanding of set hierarchy and develop a broader professional vision.

After graduating, I relocated to the United States to pursue my career in a global hub of the media and entertainment industry. While I am not currently working or interning, I am eager to combine the experience I gained in Turkey with the opportunities available here to advance my career to the highest level.
