The unsworn soldier

Format: Uzun Metraj Film

Runtime: 110 minute

Script Length: 110 pages

A former special forces soldier — who swore never to touch a weapon again after failing to stop innocent blood from being spilled in Iraq — is drawn back into violence when children go missing in a quiet Mississippi town, forcing him to break his oath in the face of a cartel's cruelty.

Some Commando meets John Wick vibes. Good stuff. I'd read it.

Ugur Kayikci

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I was aiming for a grounded, character-driven action tone, so that comparison means a lot.

Pat Alexander

Hey Ugur Kayikci looks very cool - what inspired you to write this story?

Ugur Kayikci

Thankyou Pat Alexander The idea that inspired me to write this story is simple:

No matter what kind of oath a person has taken, if an oppressor is harming the innocent, that oath loses its meaning.

In such a case, the right thing to do is to break that oath.

Ugur Kayikci

While writing this screenplay, I used a Sheridan-style approach.

In action scenes, I kept the pacing short and broken so it would read quickly and clearly.

In scenes that needed a slower, more natural rhythm, I avoided using this technique.

In tension-driven scenes, I applied it gradually to build intensity step by step.

For the past two years, I have worked continuously, day and night, and created a total of 10 projects.

If you check my profile, the ones I have published are at a level suitable for production.

There was an issue with "The Farmer’s Son", and I am currently developing it further. It will be ready soon.
