Frame 1171276606

OGM Pictures has appointed producer Berna Levin as Head of International Production, marking a significant step in the Turkish studio’s global growth strategy. This move aligns with the launch of a new division dedicated to developing international television series and feature films, furthering OGM Pictures’ ambitions beyond Turkey.

In her new position, Levin will work closely with OGM founder Onur GΓΌvenatam to shape and manage the company’s international content slate. The division will focus on high-quality English-language projects targeting the US and UK, as well as local-language productions across Europe, Latin America, and the MENA region. The content strategy emphasizes character-driven stories with strong emotional resonance and broad international appeal.

Levin brings a wealth of international experience, having worked in Los Angeles, London, and the Nordic markets. Her credits include notable projects such as The Playlist, Young Wallander, The Girl in the Spider’s Web, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Hidden. She is recognized for her expertise in international drama, co-productions, and cross-border development, as well as her extensive global industry network.

Levin commented on her new role: β€œOGM Pictures has shown that deeply emotional, culturally specific storytelling can resonate globally. Onur and his team have built one of the most dynamic creative engines in the region, and joining them during this period of international expansion is incredibly exciting. At a time when the world feels unsettled, audiences are seeking distinctive, well-crafted stories that help them connect and understand. OGM Pictures consistently delivers content that meets this need with precision and emotional depth, and I look forward to bringing that strength to new markets.”

GΓΌvenatam highlighted the strategic importance of Levin’s appointment: β€œBerna’s experience in developing and producing ambitious, internationally focused projects makes her an ideal fit for this role. Her deep understanding of Turkish culture, combined with her international expertise, allows her to bridge diverse perspectives. Together, we are building a slate that reflects OGM Pictures’ creative identity while positioning us as a key partner for global co-productions. Our goal is to collaborate with leading creative voices worldwide and deliver series and films that resonate far beyond any single market.”

As part of its international strategy, OGM Pictures plans to establish long-term partnerships with global creatives, producers, broadcasters, and streaming platforms. The company is also exploring financing models that enable it to originate and co-own high-value intellectual property, with co-productions playing a central role in designing projects for global audiences from the earliest stages.

OGM Pictures has already earned a strong reputation both in Turkey and internationally with series such as Golden Boy, The Red Room, The Innocents, and Chrysalis. Its productions consistently rank among Turkey’s top-rated shows and enjoy wide distribution on international streaming platforms.
