As the Dubai International Content Market (DICM) grows each year, we at EPISODE, Türkiye’s leading magazine for TV and cinema, are thrilled to be a part of this market for the first time.
For our special DICM 2024 issue, our cover story highlights Fatih: Sultan of Conquest, the TRT series that brings to life the journey of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, a leader who changed the course of world history.
In our exclusive interview, lead actors Serkan Çayoğlu and Selim Bayraktar delve into their characters’ inner worlds, discuss the challenges and significance of portraying historical figures, and share the emotions they hope to evoke in viewers.
Additionally, we sat down with Mustafa İlbeyli, Director of Advertising & Sales at TRT Sales, to discuss Fatih: Sultan of Conquest and gain his perspective on TRT Sales’ upcoming participation in DICM 2024.
One of the highlights of this issue is our interview with Can Okan, founder and CEO of Inter Medya, who shares insights into their latest title, Valley of Hearts, their expectations for DICM 2024, and more.
In another exclusive interview, we spoke with Melis Hamamcıoğlu, Director of Digital Media Acquisition & Content Sales at Eccho Rights, to discuss the international journeys of their new English drama, Safe Harbor, and the latest Turkish hit, The Cost of Lies.
This issue also includes an in-depth look at OGM Pictures’ new series, 6 of Us. Globally distributed by OGM UNIVERSE, produced by Onur Güvenatam and directed by Cem Karcı, the series follows six siblings who, after losing their parents in a tragic accident, struggle to stay together and hold onto life despite overwhelming hardships. We conducted interviews with the cast of 6 of Us to learn more about this season’s boldest drama.
Last but not least, internationally acclaimed actor Kerem Bürsin joins us to share his thoughts on his recent film, Blue Cave, which he stars in and co-wrote with Osman Kaya. Bürsin reflects on themes of love, mysticism, and the unique perspectives he gained through this creative journey.
At EPISODE, we look for hope and inspiration in every story we tell, and we look forward to taking you along on each new page.
