The minds behind the horror
Founder, Screenwriter, Producer and Publisher
My passion for cinema introduced me to the creative power of the digital world. While studying Radio, Television, and Cinema at university, I took my first step into the industry in 2020 by writing and directing the film Y. Köyü Ye’cüc Me’cüc.
Since 2014, I’ve been producing content on YouTube focusing on unsolved mysteries, conspiracies, cryptozoology and paranormal phenomena developing a strong audience in this niche. I also worked as a video editor for PlayNowMedia, where I edited story-driven mystery videos on topics like Bigfoot and unexplained encounters.
I conducted interviews with renowned Bigfoot researchers Ron Morehead, the man behind the famous Sierra Sounds, and M.K. Davis, another well-known Bigfoot expert.
Bringing cinematic storytelling into the digital world, I founded Dead Witness Studio and stepped into the game industry. At our studio, I served as producer and publisher for the horror games Y. Village – The Visitors and Apartment No 129, both released in 2024, as well as the team leader for both projects. Our games have been released not only on Steam, but also on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. At the same time, we continue to develop new projects and create story-driven digital experiences. We are now working on two horror games planned for release in 2026 Eilean Mor: The Lost Keepers and Antichrist. We plan to bring both titles to Steam and all major consoles.
