Yilmaz Vurucu

As a child, I found myself glued to the tube whenever it was turned on, devouring everything I could soak in-from music videos and commercials to movies and cartoons.

At such a young age, I had recognized it was all a construct. My curiosity was more centered around trying to figure out HOW it was all put together, how the acting and cuts worked with the soundtrack or graphics, and especially how unseen modern day sorcerers, lurking somewhere in the background, used magical techniques to bring these stories to life.

I haven't changed much since. I have an obsession with telling stories through a visual medium - any visual medium. Nothing satisfies me more than creating alluring, mesmerizing visual narratives that capture the imagination of viewers. This obsession would also explain why I've managed to dabble in many facets of the industry through the years - creating a diverse portfolio of valuable work. I have written and directed short films, shot documentaries, experimented with visual techniques and new technologies, directed music videos, TV campaigns and commercials.

Experiencing diverse cultures and geographies through my work, I’ve finally settled down in Vienna, where I forge relationships and collaborate with partners on a wide range of projects.
