About Volkan
Volkan “Walkie” Durakcay — Screenwriter | Author | Story Consultant
Volkan “Walkie” Durakcay is a multifaceted screenwriter and author whose voice bridges high-concept imagination with grounded emotional truth. He is known for his work across animation, psychological thrillers, high fantasy, and tech-driven YA projects, with a deep understanding of cinematic structure and character psychology.
He is the author of The Devil is Getting Married, a novel praised by readers and later adapted into a screenplay that became a Quarterfinalist in the 2021 Scriptapalooza Screenplay Competition. Volkan has also contributed as a story consultant and script doctor on several short films and web series, bringing clarity, flow, and thematic cohesion to narrative drafts. Most notably, he has served as a screenwriter on a Netflix-backed series, where he was praised for his ability to balance emotional arcs with visual momentum.
Volkan holds academic degrees in both Environmental Sciences and Religious Studies, and has spent years studying Chinese and Arabic. Fluent in English and Chinese (and conversational in Arabic), he infuses his stories with cross-cultural nuance and philosophical depth. His creative range spans from suspense-laden dialogues to epic, worldbuilding-driven screenplays.
A former sergeant, sniper champion, diver, glider pilot, and martial artist, Volkan brings rare authenticity to action scenes and military realism. In his own words, he “once walked around like a homemade Terminator made from cheap materials”—until writing gave him peace. The discipline and observation skills gained from his past life now inform the rich inner worlds of his characters and the layered conflicts they face.
He is especially drawn to projects that demand both vision and soul — stories that aren’t afraid to explore mystical, emotional, or psychological dimensions. Whether crafting a 2D animated fantasy, consulting on a thriller, or developing a serialized narrative with franchise potential, Volkan brings precision, imagination, and heart to every page.
“Peace and writing is a wonderful thing,” he says — and that has remained his creative compass ever since.
