As Film Production has been a collective of independent filmmakers in Istanbul for over ten years, bringing together filmmakers from all over the Middle East. In 2006, its co-founder Hüseyin Karabey registered it as an offical production company in order to produce "My Marlon and Brando", which has already received some international awards, thus transforming Asi Film Production into an established and successful company in the public eyes.
Resources and facilities have been built up which are now being used by a collective of filmmakers who may be temporarily based in Istanbul but tell stories from all around the region.
Asi Film produced recently "Do Not Forget Me Istanbul" with 7 international directors.
Asi Film is a collective company formed by independent filmmakers. It produces motion picture, documentary film, short film and international co-production projects and also provides production services to international filmmakers working on projects in Turkey.
In the 1990s, many Kurdish youth left their homes and moved to Istanbul because of unemployment and terrorism in the eastern and southeastern provinces of Turkey. Although they faced much hardship there, they had to work in Istanbul. This film tries to show the misery and squalor that attended the lives of these youths.
