I’m Bahadır Karasu, a filmmaker and film editor born in Turkey (April 26, 1990).

 

 Over the years, I’ve built a multifaceted career: editing, writing, directing, color grading  whatever it takes to shape a story with meaning and rhythm. My work spans short films, experimental projects, and narrative films, always rooted in a cinematic vision.

​

I’ve worn many hats  editor on Nyctophilia (where I also directed, colored, and wrote) writer-director on other shorts like Paracosm and Ultimum and served behind the camera as a cinematographer and production assistant in early projects. That wide lens lets me see post-production not just as a technical step but as the beating heart of storytelling.

​

My approach? I sculpt images like a composer sculpts silence: I pay attention to pacing, tone, and emotional weight. I work primarily in professional editing tools, bending color, sound, and narrative structure to amplify what’s already there. I believe in collaboration working alongside directors, writers, and producers to unlock the fullest potential of their vision and push the story further.

​

BK Film is my creative space ...a place where frames become sentences, and every cut is intentional. It’s not just about polishing what was shot; it’s about finding what’s unspoken.
