BOARD MEMBERS
Tufan Tuna
Founder
Tufan Tuna is the man for even seemingly impossible tasks. What sets him apart is his tireless, goal-oriented and friendly manner. Tufan started his career at the legendary London advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, right in the TV department of Sandy Watson Scott. After his time in London and getting an M.A. in Media Sciences he continued his career at Publicis, where as part of his portfolio he managed Switzerland’s largest bank. In 2010 he finally returned to the film business.
With the foundation of TUNA production AG, the Zurich native laid the foundation for a commercial film agency with the highest production standards. There’s no road too long and no mountain too high for him to search for the best possible tailor-made solutions for his clients in order to produce individual and unique films. He’ll happily go the famous extra mile – production value above all.
In private Tufan is a political person and committed to animals and the environment. After his studies, he spent six weeks in Costa Rica, where he helped with a large-scale Greenpeace campaign to save sea turtles from extinction. Until today he donates to animal rights organizations after each TUNA production. Last but not least his main commitment includes being the proud father of twins.
Derya Tuna
General Manager/EP
Derya is probably one of the most unique and talented film producers in Switzerland. Adding to that she’s also a board member of the "Swissfilm Association" – the renowned professional union of leading Swiss TV, commissioned and commercial film producers.
Her great passion for film stands on solid grounds: she was the manager of a sound studio, has had many years of experience in renowned post-production and film production companies and was the Head of TV/Art Buying at Switzerland’s largest advertising agency Publicis. On top of that she holds a Swiss federal Diploma as a Marketing Planner.
Her outstanding education and experience in film production are a key ingredient for the high production quality of TUNA.
When not running a production Derya is a nature loving person and likes to spend her free time in the countryside. However, sometimes her inner couch potato gets the better of her and turns on her TV series binge mode.
