Bilge Ebiri[a] (born 1973) is a British-American journalist, film critic, and filmmaker. His first feature film, New Guy, was released in 2004.
Early life and education
[edit]Ebiri is of Turkish descent. He majored in film studies at Yale University, graduating in 1995.[1] His thesis film, Bad Neighborhood, won the Lamar Prize for Achievement in Film.[2]
Career
[edit]After graduation from Yale, Ebiri worked as an assistant director for Nikita Mikhalkov on The Barber of Siberia.[3] In 2003, Ebiri wrote, directed, and co-produced the low-budget feature film New Guy, which was released in 2004. It received favorable reviews in The New York Times and Variety, and had a successful theatrical run in New York City. Time Out called it "broadly predictable and increasingly one note, but passable sadistic fun."[4] It was released on DVD in 2005 by Vanguard Cinema.[5]
