In 1985 Bakkalbaşıoğlu graduated from the Department of Radio and TV at Ankara University's Faculty of Communications and Media. During the second year of the course he started to work at Turkish Radio and Television Institution (TRT). Beginning as a scriptwriter, Bakkalbaşıoğlu continued his career as a director and producer until 1992. During this period at TRT, he produced programs including Lafı Güzaf (Verbiage in English), a dramatic documentary; Edebiyat Üçlemesi (Literature Trilogy), a dramatic documentary; Prensesin Böylesi (That Kind of a Princess), a drama; and Ondan Sonra (After That), a magazine program.[1]

Bakkalbaşıoğlu transferred to ATV in 1992 until 1997 and produced several broadcasts during this time, including A Takımı, Televizyon Çocuğu, Zaga and Siyaset Meydanı.

After releasing the documentaries Mahzuni Şerif (2005) and Türkiye’nin Ruhu: Cemil Meriç (2008),[3] his documentary İnkılap ve Dokuz Kardeş (İnkılap and Her Nine Sisters)[4] was screened at the 28th International Istanbul Film Festival and was well received. Recently, he was the General Coordinator of the Sanayi Savaşları (Industry Wars)[5] documentary, broadcast on TRT Documentary.
