Quick Intro: I spent a week preparing this film from scratch. I did everything solo. I produced, directed, edited, mixed, color-graded, mastered, composed, polished, and etc. I did this because I always wanted to make a film. Finally locked in, I fucked my job, and just did it. “Just do it.” I was curious about people’s reactions to this film. I mixed my reality with AI. I added clips everywhere that were generated and expanded with AI. Just to show the people that imagination is the only limit. “You can just do things.” To show that life is smth interesting to live and feel. And we should try it. Since it’s all temporary.

Chapter 1: “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”: In this chapter, I showed all about Teknofest 2025 that happened in Istanbul, Turkiye. Because we are here in Istanbul for this competition. We have been participating in this challenge since Spring. We passed the 1st stage with 97%, then the 2nd stage with 87%, which are some of the highest points in our category “AI in healthcare”. We did hard work, literally. We spent a lot of time. I believe hard work always pays off. There is such a phrase “do the hard things”. This hits me so different every time when I remember or read it again and over again. Teknofest 2025 was insane, a lot of people came from different countries. A lot of cool things, merch, swags. Airplanes flying. Huge show all around Istanbul airport. And way more cool stuff. (Just watch the film I did, to get most of the festival and learn more). Personally, I had a lot of fun seeing things and making really dope friends there. You can just do the things.

Chapter 2: “JOMO not FOMO”: JOMO or Joy Of Missing Out. It’s kinda opposite stuff for me. Because I literally want to know about everything. Design, tech, architecture, make things, produce music, and lots of things. But here in the film, I showed the streets of Istanbul. Mostly nighttime. How people are just walking around, talking, less phones around people’s hands. Sitting at the streets, cooking stuff. Joy. It reminds that you can just fuck everything and have fun of life. Fear of missing out things. Have you seen? Have you heard? What’s your take on? Can you believe? OMG that tweet. Read that story yet? Seen that video? Finish the second season yet? So much FOMO. We’d rather celebrate JOMO — the Joy of Missing Out. Life’s better when you’re missing the stuff that doesn’t matter anyway. Got a cat or dog. Walk around. “You can just miss things”.

Chapter 3: “So remember Me; I will remember you.”: It’s good to remember that we’re here for a moment. We all die soon, very soon. Life is temporary. But we should try at max always. Fuck the fear. We should try everything that’s possible and seems impossible. And pray. And pray that we gonna rock it. We gonna make it crazy cool. We did our best just now. And just pray that everything goes well. Let’s just remember. Let’s just keep it in our hearts. And just do the things. We can just do it. Just do it. Do it. Do it now!!

Chapter 4: “Flâneur”: In actual, Flaneur is someone who just observes around without any purpose. Aimless wandering through city streets, observing social life without active participation, and treating everyday urban experiences as a form of creative and intellectual engagement. In the film, I literally described and showcased urban life, people, places, transportation, birds, dogs, cats, etc. People going somewhere, people eating something, they are talking to each other, having good times. And we are as a Flaneur just wandering this view. We don’t have any purpose in looking at those people or exactly those buildings, or birds. It’s aimless. We just take our backpack and wander again. Sometimes you can just be a Flaneur and fuck the life.
