Seren Yüce (b. 1975, Istanbul) graduated in archeology from Bilkent University of Ankara. In 1999-2005 he worked in television as a first assistant director. In 2006, he was the first assistant director on Özer Kiziltan’s A Man’s Fear of God (Takva) as well as Fatih Akin’s The Edge of Heaven (2007) and Yesim Ustaoğlu’s Pandora’s Box (Pandora’nin kutusu, 2008). Majority, his first feature length film, took several awards, including the Luigi De Laurentiis Award at Venice. Yüce considers his movie “a piece of self-criticism: of myself and of the Turkish society of which I am a member [...] My aim is to take a look at ‘us’ through the story of a family: ‘Family’ is the core of our society.”
