Mollie was originally planned to be produced in Netherlands in 2022, but shootings were later completed in Istanbul in 2023. 
We worked with a small budget but with many talented creatives who is able to create magic with small number of resources. Ahmet Alim Yılmaz and Gonca Öztürk initially started building the crew. Getting the crew and cast ready, pre-production and rehearsals took 3 months. We had many challenges to overcome on the way. Shootings took 3 days and we had to re-schedule another shooting day a month later the production to get the missing scenes. 
The whole set is designed and painted by the Mollie Project team implementing representations of characters. Working with a small budget we went to prop and decor hunting in antique bazaars and flea markets of Istanbul where we could find used canvases to re-paint for €0.03 - € 0.15 a piece, statues or unique pieces to include DIY projects for set decoration. Crafting set decoration for each dramatic day of the movie, art department created such excellent job creating magic with small number of resources. 
Help of AI was used in set decoration of the movie, 27 different paintings were created with artificial intelligence and printed to be used on the set, not all of them made it to screen. 
It was challenging to sustain support in the current political environment of production country. We had to say goodbye to our main supports along the way and some names were removed from credits due to requests reasoning safety. Post-production therefore was postponed. After five different versions of the movie was created, 41 minutes version of the movie, edited by Omer Leventoglu was selected to be the final version. Now we’re in a lookout for the distribution.
