COMD Student Part of “Kurtlar Vadisi” Production Team

Last autumn, COMD student Arif Yavuz Çimen was part of the production team for the popular TV series "Kurtlar Vadisi" and its spinoff film "Kurtlar Vadisi Irak" ("Valley of the Wolves--Iraq"). The movie is currently showing in cinemas all over Turkey, as well as in most countries in Europe, America and Australia.

"Kurtlar Vadisi Irak" is the first international big budget movie made by the Turkish film industry, with a production team from both Turkey and Hollywood. It cost 10 million dollars, and was filmed in Gaziantep, Iraq and Syria last fall.

As a Bilkent COMD student, Arif had a chance to work with people from the Hollywood film business. He served as an assistant to special effects professionals Mark Meddings and Lynda Armstrong, who have also worked on films such as "The Kingdom of Heaven" and "Alexander the Great."

This project was a great opportunity for Arif in terms of his future career. We congratulate him on his success.
