First of all, in the name of all those who are contributing to this film, I would like to
thank you for the
interest you have shown in our project. In a way, this film is the story of the over 40
million
Kurds living in the world. My aim with this project is to leave the new generation and the
world an example of the cultural heritage of humankind, as well as telling the world our
history and culture in the language of cinema.
To make such a film in Turkey is very important, particularly if one looks at the films
made about Kurds up to date. Up to now no historical or cultural films have been made in
this
country, and as a Kurd I have been trying to make the ???Brukan??? film happen for the last
two
years in order to fill this gap. During this time I met with several actors and firms
interested in partnerships. However, our aims always clashed. These people only approached
the project with financial gains in mind. Their attitude made me feel more protective about
my project.
I have been looking for partners who would embrace this project and have met with
people in several European countries. But I have to say that I have been touched most by
your interest and suggestions. In addition, our shared roots have honoured me. Personally, I
am not interested in how much ???profit??? I am going to make. But I wish with all my heart
that
my friends who support the project benefit financially and otherwise. My only stipulation is
that I want to put aside 3% for educational projects. Agreeing on the rest should be very
easy. I see you as a companion and together with you I would like to realise the ???Brukan???
film, which will introduce our culture and history to the world. I sincerely believe that by
working together we will make a film that will target world cinema.
We have written the story of the project, but of course there are shortcomings. A
written scenario or story is not absolutely necessary and, working together, we can develop
both. I believe that with this project we can develop an international film that becomes our
culture and history. I am sure that in the following stages we will collaborate in agreement
and make up the shortcomings of the project. The biggest problem of the project is its
funding, but I am sure that with your collaboration and support we will overcome this
problem.
I would like to reiterate that I would like to collaborate with you on the ???Brukan???
project from the bottom of my heart and I invite you to work with me on an international
project. May this film be a valuable creation to leave to the next generation.
Yours sincerely,
