I would absolutely recommend Onur.
He was very knowledable with a relaxed approach.

Onur is registered under the name “Super-Producer” on my phone.
That should sum it up – 10/10 from me and my wife who
also worked with him (we were both correspondents
in Istanbul for three years – Onur is simply the best).

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Onur Cakir on journalistic
assignments in Turkey. I can give him my strongest
and warmest recommendations. Onur is well connected,
experienced in the field, does comprehensive research
and is a pleasant guy to beround. I’ve worked on stories
about Turkish politics, the Kurdish issue and other
social aspects with Onur. He has widespread experience
as a producer for international media, such as CNN.
Onur is fluent in English, and is an educated English translator.
He answers all requests rapidly and helps out, even when he’s busy.

· Nicolai Kwasniewski
I did work with Onur. It was a very brief encounter, as we
had only a couple of hours together. But it was a pleasure, working with him.
On a professional level:He was very well prepared, before we met he had to organise a meeting with another person, it was a delicate matter. He was very reliable and professional and helped a lot. His english is excellent and he didn’t have a problem to warm up with the person we met – which was important. On a personal level: He is a very sympathetic person and I enjoyed spending time with him. If I have to go back to Turkey, I will definitely contact him again.

Indeed I can recommend Andy! I have worked with him on several commercials and he is excellent to work with. Following that, I have recommended him for other jobs and put him touch with various other productions. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My production team and I did get to work with Onur for the first couple days of our shoot in Turkey and he was very helpful in setting up hotel and transportation accommodations for us in Eastern Turkey.
