SAYARA (2024) | An Interview w Director Can Evrenol

Today, I'm thrilled to sit down with the talented writer and director, Can Evrenol. Can masterminded Baskin, a standout horror gem from 2015 that ranks among my top picks. With his latest cinematic venture, Sayara, making waves—a riveting tale of revenge centered around a femme fatale, I couldn't resist inviting him to dive into the creative process behind the film. Although it's not yet released in the US, it's been recently acquired for distribution and is slated to stream post its second round in the festival circuit. Stay tuned for this one!
