Serkan Nihat is an award-winning London based Film-Maker working in the British TV & Film industry. Born in Edmonton, North London Serkan’s introduction to cinema was from the silver-age of Turkish cinema. Having begun in post-production Serkan was one of foremost assistant editors in the UK having worked on major UK dramas such as Spooks, Hustle, Broadchurch and Taboo. Serkan also oversaw the very first fully tapeless workflow on a drama series (Law & Order). As an editor, he has specialised in editing trailers and TV spots and feature length documentaries. Since making the transition to director, he has directed campaigns for numerous brands, and in 2018 won the Cannes Silver Dolphin award and was a finalist in the Creative pool industry awards. In 2019 he was awarded an Evcom Award for a Vogue campaign and has since won another three EVCOM awards. His short film ‘Apex’ starring Charlotte Riley (Peaky Blinders) and Tom Weston Jones (Dickensian) won the Cannes Short Film Competition with ‘Best film’ and ‘Audience Award.’ He directed the comedy drama pilot 'Wake Me Up' starring Charlotte Riley, T'Nia Miller (The Peripheral) and Nick Helm (Uncle). His debut feature film 'Exodus' won the Best Drama Feature award recently at the London Independent Film Festival.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
