I’m Cem Çelik, a multidisciplinary producer and technologist based in Palma de Mallorca with a lifelong passion for filmmaking, software development, and storytelling. A former NATO liaison and producer, I’ve collaborated with global brands like Adidas, Lego, and Decathlon, building campaigns from concept to delivery while steering budgets, schedules, and teams across continents. I’m an avid cyclist and lifelong learner who pursues philanthropic projects and sustainable tech like vertical farming and biochar to help feed the world. When I’m not directing or coding, I mentor teams, explore new ways to tell stories, and design strategic workflows that solve complex problems before they become obstacles. I continue to produce film and video content for international clients and focus on projects that leave a positive impact.
