I’m Umut Karaduman—a filmmaker, photographer, and music producer driven by a genuine passion for storytelling. Through my creative production agency is JustThinkWell, my film production company is Jtw Film, and my music label is Jtw Records, I aim to blend visuals and sound in ways that feel fresh and meaningful.

Whether I’m behind the camera capturing moments, photographing, directing a film, or producing music, my focus is always on creating something that genuinely connects with people. I believe that the power of a great story lies in its ability to move you—visually, emotionally, and sonically. That’s the essence of every project I take on: to craft work that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting impression.

Incorporating elements of film, photography, music, and visual communication design into my projects enriches the storytelling experience and allows for a more immersive connection. For me, it’s about pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in authenticity. Each project is an opportunity to learn, grow, and bring something new to the table. I’m committed to the process—whether on set, in the studio, or working behind the scenes—always aiming to deliver something honest, bold, and impactful.

I have been working in these fields since 2012, the year I graduated from Bahçeşehir University (BAU) after completing a four-year program in Visual Arts & Visual Communication Design (VA/VCD). This academic foundation helped shape my creative vision and provided me with the tools to explore the intersection of visuals and communication, which continues to influence my work to this day.
