Creative team and narrative form
Gibi was written by Feyyaz Yiğit and Aziz Kedi, and produced by Barış Ayaztaş and Feyyaz Yiğit. Its central cast consists of Feyyaz Yiğit, Kıvanç Kılınç and Ahmet Kürşat Öçalan. Director Ömer Sinir has described a production process in which the situations in the scripts were developed visually through casting, locations and costumes. Actor Ahmet Kürşat Öçalan has characterized the series as a comedy based on situations emerging from everyday life rather than on pure absurdity.
Everyday problems made bigger
The series’ main comic mechanism is to enlarge small misfortunes, strange incidents and helpless situations that anyone might encounter. Ordinary circumstances and unlikely-but-possible developments are brought together, with much of the humor arising when the three friends turn a minor problem into an increasingly tangled situation.
