Though the Golden Bear-winning Turkish filmmaker Semih Kaplanoglu is listed as the director on his latest drama “Commitment,” Kaplanoglu says the real person calling the shots on set was still in diapers.
Yes, one of the stars and most important components to “Commitment” was a young baby no more than 1 year old named Zeynep. Kaplanoglu referred to the young girl as the “hero” of the film and hopes that the movie will become a great memory for her when she’s old enough to watch it.
