films and music production

Cem Celal Bilge Music & Digital Film Production and Licensing Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, I studied in the Integrative Arts - Music Technologies program and graduated with a B.A. from the College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State. In 2011, I opened up a music production studio in Istanbul, Turkey and started producing content with like-minded musicians and filmmakers while attending school at State College, PA. My first full feature production, "Zaiyat", was shot in Turkey and premiered in SXSW and at the Istanbul Independent Film Festival in 2013.

After graduating in 2014, I moved to Brooklyn, NY and started working for a record label called "Nublu Records". Meanwhile I co-produced a documentary about "Nublu" and it premiered at the Istanbul Independent Film Festival in 2017. At last, I founded a Record Label called "Personal Space Records" which produces and promotes local and international artists.

I also produced a Youtube Series called "Sifir Bir" which became a cult classic among the general public in Turkey, as well as a live music show called "Ehveniser TV" which hosts varied local artists in Turkey. By producing so many different formats for mainstream mediums, I have become experienced with legal technicalities, artist handling, production staff, negotiations with different parties, and the prioritization and tracking of various inquiries.

Thus, I am very confident in handling any part of a digital production, as it has become the nature of my life.
