Meta Akkus

Meta, is a Turkish born French film director. While completing her studies, in Paris, she developed an interest in acting as a means to overcome her inborn shyness. After joining theatre de Mercure for several years, she put her acting on hold and went on to write and direct her first play "Le Temps N'existe Pas". She then directed her first short film "La Solitude", in 16mm, which in turn, led her to London to study and work in films. After her second short film, "Unsatisfaction," she started directing commercials and music videos in different countries. She is currently producing and directing her first long feature movie, "Bir Dilek Tut" (Make a Wish), which has been put on hold due to the Covid-19 crisis.
