A 10-year-old boy must unravel the mysterious sounds of the crickets to find a way to handle his grandfather's oppression.

DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Kaan Orgunmat

Ever since I was little, I loved writing and telling stories. After a long transition phase with various educations and work in physics and electrical engineering, I found my true passion, film and storytelling. When I'm not working on film, I dance and teach Lindy Hop or read about the latest news in astrophysics, which often inspires me to write stories. The Wake Up Chirp is a short film project. The film is about a boy who is stuck in his authoritarian grandfather's summer house and accidentally discovers that the crickets around the house communicate with him in Morse code. It is a children's story with elements of realities from adult life. A boy's fantasy world is brought to life as he finds a way to deal with adversity and grow as an individual.
