Mustafa Kara, born in 1980, was graduated from the Department of Radio and Television of the Cumhuriyet University. His debut feature in 2006 was Hope Island, a co-production between Turkey and the United Kingdom. In 2009, he founded “Karafilm Productions” with Nermin Aytekin. Cold of Kalandar, his second feature film, is the fruit of years of work after many documentary and commercial films.
