Ferdi Merter

The legend, according to Mockbusters.tv

Ferdi Merter was forged in the most independent independent theatre ever staged: no venue, no audience, no budget, just conviction. There he discovered that scripts are polite suggestions and that untamable naturalness should be greeted, never trained. On Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda the entire screenplay was memorized in one reading, which doubled as the only reading, since rehearsing struck him as an insult to spontaneity. Hollywood monitors his filmography with envy, reverence and professional-grade binoculars, jotting down notes it later markets as visionary originality.
