FILM PORTFOLIO
Welcome to my Film Portfolio.
Here you can find some of my efforts in cinema, analog photographs, and projects I've created or participated in.
DIRECTED BY LALA ALAKBAR
My last film,"SU" is on the editing stage, it is a character-driven psychological drama, the story of a young girl Su, who is trying to overcome her PTSD and volunteer for orphan children, but her brain tricks her, making it not possible to communicate with real people, and her only friend is Ray, an old eccentric homeless man. The film shows their journey, and where it brings our main character. I'm sharing my pitch dec, for now, as well as a part from the script and some backstage photos.
with CAUCASUS CINEMA
In 2025, attending Caucasus Cinema, I worked with 30 filmmakers from around the world on various film sets as a cinematographer, producer, sound mixer, and script assistant. I also directed my first films.
'The Red Sash', my first film, portrays one morning in the adolescence of three siblings — the same tradition carried with different weight.'To Find a Story' is a short film about a young girl searching for a story powerful enough to soften her parents’ hearts and shift their decision. The third film, 'Caucasian Jazz', explores unity through music, revealing how it can make languages understandable.
These works remain raw and amateur — both technically and in the delivery of ideas — and I am actively working to grow beyond these limits.
Assistant Director on Sanki Yoxsan (2024) and The Red Color of the Second Planet (2022)
My role consisted of managing on-set operations and bridging creative vision with technical execution. I was also involved in script development and contributed to producing. Sanki Yoxsan, a film about youth, love and pitfalls of local mentality, 2024 Cannes Film Festival nominee. İkinci Planetin Qırmızı rəngi (The Red Color of the Second Planet), premiered at Tampere International Film Festival, portrays resilience and liberation.
AD'ing in SHORT FILMS
FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
I think, it's form of art that I enjoy A LOT. Also I'm a nerd in cameras, negatif development and just hunting moments.
VISUAL ART
Sometimes I sketch, sometimes I work with oil, gouache, or mixed media. Illustrating also helps me in writing when I need to visualize stories, and of course there are many storyboards for advertising that I do not consider part of my creative portfolio.
In 2017, I founded 994FM, a poetry YouTube and radio channel that connects poets and their works with audiences. Surprisingly, it has had much more success and popularity than I ever expected. By intertwining classic and contemporary works, such as Eyyub Yaqubov’s (famous Azerbaijani singer) interpretation of Gecə Düşüncəsi from Mikayil Mushvig, we have created a truly beautiful platform that connects generations and celebrates heritage.
994FM
At Debüt Film Studios, I had several roles including international relations, educational programs management, media relations, and content production/co-editing. Yes, the team was small, only 11 people. Although the studio's tenure ended in 2022, it produced 11 shorts, 4 features, 4 educational and 3 entertainment programs, as well as a few edits such as RETROMIX and SUPERMIX, blending old movies and contemporary music. These are some of the ones I created.
