Reviews
"Inspired by Sait Faik Abasıyanık's short novel Kayıp Aranıyor, I wrote the screenplay for Still Outside. From time to time, I become deeply interested in observing a character's inner journey, immersing myself in their emotions. I believe it is the power of cinema that allows us to enjoy the atmosphere rather than follow a plot based on intellectual thought."
