Yilmaz boasts over 20 years of international experience in creating stories, producing, writing and directing films, documentaries and campaigns. As an award winning filmmaker, his work covers a wide range of subjects, ranging from questioning whether AI can develop human traits in his most recent film, I Feel Human. Again (2023) to sustainable urban development in "the sea in me" (2010), social inclusion and justice in Borders (2011), social inequality, class struggle and family abuse in "Dr. Zack" (2010) and capturing the stories of adaptive heritage re-use in The Open Heritage documentary series (2020).
