What's left behind the scenes

  • "Mustang" was the first feature film by director Deniz Gamze Ergüven. Before that, she made three short films.
  • Shortly before starting filming, director Deniz Gamze Ergüven learned she was pregnant. Upon hearing this news, the lead producer told her she would no longer be working on the film and informed the other team members, claiming the film would be a disaster. Despite this, the other producers supported the director, and filming continued and was successfully completed during Deniz’s pregnancy.
  • Deniz Gamze Ergüven met co-writer Alice Vinocur at the Cannes Film Festival's Atelier for emerging filmmakers, where they were the only women participating in the program. Ergüven had come there to work on a film called "Kings," but was unable to attract producers and sponsors to continue working on the film. Therefore, Vinocur suggested Ergüven make a smaller-scale film to prove she could become a director. Together they began working on "Mustang."
  • In the scene where the grandmother opens the wardrobe, we see a t-shirt with the hashtag "#direngezi" – a famous slogan of the protests against the destruction of Gezi Park on Taksim Square.
  • Lale tells her uncle that she wants to go to the final match of the Super League quarterfinals. There is no such thing as a quarterfinal in the Turkish Super League.
  • When the uncle watches the match with his friends, the inscription ligtv.com.tr can be seen on the screen, indicating that this is archival footage.
  • The girls are planning to attend the Galatasaray-Trabzonspor match. They tell Yasin that they need to go to Trabzon, but later, when we see them on television, the scoreboard first displays Galatasaray, meaning the match was in Istanbul, not Trabzon.
  • “Mustang” was the first full-length film by director Deniz Gamze Ergüven. Before that, she had made three short films.
