Biography

Ebru Yapıcı was born in Ankara and studied film and television at Marmara University and Mimar Sinan University. The Ceylans starred together in the 2006 film Climates, which they also co-wrote, beginning a writing collaboration that would include Three Monkeys (2008), Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011) and the Palme d'Or-winning Winter Sleep (2014).

Nuri Bilge described their writing relationship, which Ebru opted to end after Winter Sleep, saying "Since she is my wife she has the right to say anything. We fight a lot actually, sometimes till the morning, but it's very useful". For Winter Sleep, Ebru received a nomination for the European Film Award for Best Screenwriter.{{cite web |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/leviathan-winter-sleep-nymphomaniac-european-747624 |author=Georg Szalai |title='Leviathan,' 'Winter Sleep,' 'Nymphomaniac' Among European Film Awards Nominees |access-date=17 June 2017 |date=8 November 2014 |work=The Hollywood Reporter}}
