Ebrar Bilister

I've been writing stories and reading books since childhood. Early on, I realized that storytelling wasn’t just something I enjoyed — it was a calling. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to refining my craft and using it as a tool for reflection, healing, and transformation.
I primarily write psychological dramas, both in short and feature-length formats. I’m deeply interested in true stories, spiritual themes, and the invisible layers of the human psyche. My passion lies in merging the material and the spiritual worlds — often through characters who are on the edge of breakdown or breakthrough.
My greatest inspiration comes from real human experiences, inner observation, and Sufi teachings — not as a religious practice, but as a timeless philosophy. I believe Sufism and quantum theory meet at the same truth: it doesn’t matter who you are, it matters who you are becoming.
I want my screenplays to challenge the viewer gently but deeply — to ask questions, awaken something hidden, and open doors to inner transformation. A film should not just entertain. It should heal, provoke thought, and offer a way forward. I create stories where the viewer doesn’t just wonder “How would I do that?”, but instead says “Now I understand how I can do that.”
I’ve been especially influenced by films based on novels — like The Green Mile, Coach Carter, and Sherlock Holmes — and writers who combine psychological insight with strong moral vision. (I’m also drawn to the works of thinkers like Carl Jung and narrative theorists.)
Currently based in Istanbul, I’m constantly developing new projects. Some early scripts I wrote were more intuitive and raw, but now I’m reworking them with greater awareness, clarity, and intention. My goal is to make them universally understandable without losing their spiritual depth — to create cinema that speaks directly to the soul.
I am actively seeking collaboration with producers, mentors, and creative souls who believe that stories can be both artistic and healing.
Let’s connect — I believe the world needs meaningful stories now more than ever.
