Muratcan Gokce, born smack in the middle of Adana, Turkey, back in March of ‘90, is one of those guys who kind of sneaks up on you—one minute he’s behind the camera, the next he’s calling the shots as director. Take “The Two Faces of January” from 2014. Gokce’s fingerprints are all over it. There’s this sun-bleached, off-kilter vibe running through the movie, with every frame looking like it’s about to melt right off the screen. He’s got a knack for making even the stillest scenes buzz with nerves, and you can tell he’s obsessed with light and shadow—seriously, the guy treats every ray of sunshine like it owes him money. Then there’s “A Ferry Passes Through to the Bosphorus” (2011), where he drags you right onto the water. It’s not just a ride—it’s a low-key meditation on Istanbul itself. He’s got this way of making a normal commute feel like something sacred, like you’re peeking behind the curtain at everyday magic. Honestly, it’s almost too pretty, but he manages not to get cheesy about it. Jump to “Chasing the Wind,” set to drop in 2025. Nobody outside the crew really knows what’s coming, but if Gokce’s track record means anything, expect something that’s equal parts punchy and poetic. He doesn’t do boring. There’s always a twist, some little detail you’ll keep thinking about long after the credits roll. Gokce isn’t just making movies—he’s messing with your head in the best way.
Basak Lola Gokce’s cousin pops up in the story, not just as a background character but with a surprising amount of charm. She’s not the typical sidekick—think more quick-witted, rolling her eyes at the drama, and occasionally dropping truth bombs that everyone else is too polite to say out loud. Her bond with Basak isn’t all sunshine and rainbows; they bicker, have each other’s backs, and their shared history slips out in all these little inside jokes that only family can really pull off. You’ll see her stirring up trouble at family dinners, calling out nonsense, and honestly, stealing a few scenes without even trying. She’s got this way of making awkward moments even funnier, and you can tell she’s fiercely loyal—even if she’ll never admit it out loud. If you blink, you might miss her, but every minute she’s on screen, she makes the chaos a little more entertaining.
