Mehmet Guney: Multitasking Filmmaker, Writer, and Storyteller

Hello everyone! Wanted introduce myself. I’m Mehmet Guney, a filmmaker, Screenwriter, and producer with a passion for storytelling that resonates across cultures and borders. Born in Turkey and now based in Los Angeles, I’ve spent over a decade crafting narratives that aim to inspire, challenge, and connect audiences.

My journey began in advertising as a video producer and editor, and since then, I’ve written and directed numerous feature films, short films, commercials, and TV projects. Some of my notable works include "Love 1.0 Even Without You" and "Enduring: A Mother's Story." In addition to filmmaking, I run my own production company, Synergy Motion, where creativity meets purpose.

Beyond filmmaking, I’m also proud to lead an international film festival in Los Angeles, "Synergy Film Festival", a platform dedicated to supporting independent voices and diverse stories.

When I’m not behind the camera or organizing events, you’ll find me exploring new narratives, collaborating with fellow creatives, or simply enjoying time with my family.

Excited to connect, share ideas, and create meaningful stories together. Let’s keep the conversation going!

"It’s great to meet you too! I’ve been running my production company for over 12 years now, and this year marks the 7th season of our international film festival. It’s been an incredible journey watching both grow and evolve over the years."
