Mehmet Bozdag is a 38-year-old Turkish screenwriter, director and producer. He has become tremendously well-known after producing the widely-celebrated series
Ertugrul. Bozdag pays attention to the smallest details in his productions, including the actors' costumes and the shooting location.
At a time when Egyptian drama producers avoided producing series with historical and religious themes, and when Saudi stars such as Nasser Al-Qasabi starred in series like
Mamnou Al Tajawol, which repeatedly caused religious offence, we discover Bozdag, who creatively presents a drama aiming to promote a strong sense of belonging to Islam and offers national and religious content to the audience. Bozdag's series details the lives of Ertugrul, father of the Ottoman Empire's founder, Osman I, Yunus Emre, Kut Al-Amara and Jalal ad-Din Khwarazm-Shah.
