Dart Film Prodüksiyon

What Dart Film Prodüksiyon does

Dart Film Prodüksiyon is a privately held Turkish film production services company headquartered in Şişli, Istanbul. Founded in 2016 by Selçuk Saydan, Sami Saydan, and Erhan Makar, the company provides B2B cinematography equipment rental and on-set production services to film and television production companies operating in the Turkish media market. Its primary customers are leading domestic production houses such as Medyapım, Ay Yapım, Süreç Film, ES Film, Bi Yapım, and Muhteşem Film, for whom it has delivered work on TV series (e.g., Yasak Elma, Payitaht Abdülhamit, Filinta), feature films (Siccin, Oha Diyorum, Rüzgar, Keloğlan), documentaries, and commercials, accumulating 243 completed projects to date.

The company's core technology is a high-end professional cinematography equipment fleet rather than a software platform. The fleet spans ARRI Alexa series (Mini, SXT, Plus, EV), Sony Venice/F55/F65, RED Epic, Panasonic Varicam, and Phantom Flex 4K cameras, supported by an extensive lens inventory including ARRI Ultra Prime, Cooke S4/i, Master Prime, Master Anamorphic, Leica Summicron/Summilux-C, Zeiss Compact Prime, Angenieux Optimo zooms, and macro and telephoto systems. Complementary rental categories include Steadicam (Shadow, Archer2, Ultra), remote focus systems, O'Connor and Sachtler tripods, wireless video transmission (Swit, Teradek), and camera accessories. Two of the three co-founders, Sami Saydan and Erhan Makar, also serve as Director of Photography on multiple listed productions, blending equipment supply with embedded craft expertise.

Dart Film generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) per-project equipment rental on a usage-based pricing model, billed via custom quote; (2) professional film production services including camera operation, cinematography, and technical support on a project-services basis; and (3) a smaller second-hand camera and lens sales channel. Pricing is non-public and negotiated directly via phone and email with each production company. The company is privately held by its three founders, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity, and operates exclusively within Turkey.
